I am trying to look into John Solly (died June 1883) in St Laurence, Ramsgate.

Although not related we own a cottage in Ramsgate, which, according to our deeds, John Solly bought from George Philpott in June 1881.

We have recently been doing some renovations, and discovered an old bread/proofing oven hidden in an alcove with some rolled up newspapers inside dating from 1883.

We think John Solly must have put them in there!

At this stage, apart from his dod, we don't have any more information on him.
