Henry Hone (my second great grand uncle) was born in Frindsbury, according to census records, and was christened 18 Jun 1809 in Dartford Kent, and lived in Frindsbury most of his life. He was a brick maker in 1841 and lived on Castle Street.  His wife was Margaret (nee Ruck). They were married 13 Feb 1832 at Saint Werburgh Hoo, Kent *

By 1861 his occupation is once again listed as brick maker; he and his wife lived in Cuxton, but later returned to Upnor. Henry died 24 Feb 1864. His brother, Charles Hone was my second great grandfather who came over to America in 1851 with his wife Rachel (nee Denton).  *
