It's difficult to believe given its position at the centre of the known universe but sometimes people have good reason to leave the Medway Towns.

New jobs, a fresh start, the chance to experience life beyond Luton Arches and the Isle of Grain. They're all valid excuses.

But that's no reason to lose touch. We hope you'll use this section to let us know where in the world you're logging on and what you're up to now.

My Aunt, Miriam Florrie Crook, from Gillingham married Oswald Stupple on 3rd Aug 1940. They emigrated to Australia with their 5 boys circa 1950. Their grandaughter is visiting UK in May and would like to contact any of Oswald Stupples relations.

I've been trying to trace or find information on my family that come from Gillingham and surrounding areas. My Grandad moved to Norfolk and I've never met any of the Hudson family. My Grandad was one of many children and I'm sure some or most must be still living in the area. I don't know how to start finding contact details of anyone who'd now and I was wondering if it would be possible for something to go in your newspaper?

Many thanks

Andrew Hudson
