I too am a new Forum member.

Daniel Solly b.1816 Margate was my g.g.grandfather. I have also managed to trace back to Stephen Solley who married Mary Doubty in 1696 at St John's Margate, but like other people seem to have drawn a blank after this.

I had not realised that John Daniel Solly (who married Eliza Harmon) had then moved to Essex, as my grandmother Elizabeth, their eldest daughter, stayed in the Hackney area until she died, as apparently did a lot of her siblings. I am always grateful for new information!
