I am interested to hear re Putwain. I have one branch in my family. William b 1830 & James b 1834 sons of William & Marthe (May ? ) They both came to Aust in 1850's. James was married to Margaret Randall and had sons Seymour,( I think he returned to Whitstable) William and Clement Randall (?)James died in Aust. He was a diver and dived at various ship wrecks here and at one time involved in a court case re salvage
William married Mary Ann Cording -was a mariner and died early - he had one son William who I cannot trace.
Am still trying to work out families but an Alexander died here in 1937 and a Henry came out with William in 1852 and went to Tasmania.
So interested in any info re Putwain
