• Life of. At the age of 14 years and 1 month Edward was bound as an apprentice for seven years to Jos'h Salsbie. The trade was controlled by the Company of Watermen and Lightermen and records are very comprehensive. We find Edward in folio 51R. In the margin is the surname Kent written in large letters and below this, in a different hand "Born in the year 1757 July 9th. The text is headed "St. Jno Southwardk" which means the parish in which his master was registered for business and below that
Jos'j Salsbie bound his apprentice Edw'd Kent for 7 years beginning August the 16th 1771 as appears by indenture dated the same day.
Free the 28th Jan 1778 Stamp Book Folio 63
Edward Kent was the 164th apprentice in the year 1771.
Lightermen, being an early example of a closed shop, so to speak, it was a good trade to be in and whole families went into it and we know that at least two of his brothers entered the same trade.
Because of the length of the apprenticeship we find most lightermen marrying at the age of 21.
In Johnstone's Commercial Directory produced in 1817 which is probably one of the best of the early directories Edward Kent is listed as a Corn and Coal dealer trading at 109 Ratcliffe Highway.
At the present time we do not have a date of death for Edward but in the Quarterage Ledgers fort 18o8 to 1859 Guildhall ref Ms 6401/1 there was an entry
"Parish of residence" St GeoE
Name: Kent Mary widow of Edward
paid quarterage Xmas 1820 and Midsummer 1830
This would seem to indicate that Edward had died by the end of 1820

• Life of. Flotsam & Jetsam
by Henry Button
"Shortly after I had passed though the front office into the mechanical department, my place in the former was filled by another apprentice, Frederic A. Wales. We had been schoolfellows at Mr. Kelly's and were fast friends. He was a bright, good natured clever lad, and a native of the town. A few years subsequently he succeeded me as a reporter, and continued in that capacity until about the middle of 1860, when he resigned to study for the law, but that purpose was frustrated by death. At the close of 1850 he and I were engaged in writing essays on the advantages of Sunday schools, in response to an invitation from the Van Diemens Land Sunday School union. Both were in a sense successful as I received the second prize and he the third; the first prize was awarded to a young lady in Hobart. Wales died of consumption on 13th October 1861, at the age of 31 years. At the time he was staying at Cormiston, West Tamar, the residence of Archibald Thomson Esq and having been a volunteer, he was accorded a military funeral."

June 19, 1871

My dear lewis,
I hope you will not think me troublesome in writing to ask you about the old house, if matters have been settled so far you said in a letter some time ago that the person, I do not remember his name, who had purchased the house would take possession of it in January and go to live there himself.
I hope you received the certificate Emily sent and that they were sufficient for the requirements of the Law. I do not know how Emily is getting on as regards money matters. I have repeatedly told her to let me know if she is needing help but she has not done so as yet. She said something lately about wishing to ............... her share of the house money sent to her that she might invest it there and it ........also be less trouble to you, she thought ....... always remitting it. But perhaps she told you about it when she wrote.
I heard from her this mail, she was very well but.... old Mr. Moore is in a very uncertain state indeed. She found him ill on Sunday morning upon her return from Chapel although she had left him pretty well a short time before. She says she is afraid to leave him for any length of time.

I hope you are all well, we have colds which are ........
The winter has set in and is cold and showery at the moment.
I hope Rebecca's little boy is better. Please give my ..... love to all friends and I remain
My dear Lewis
Affectionately yours
Louisa C Wales

Left docks 15 Nov 2pm and half steamed half floated to Gravesend where anchored for abt 5 hours stearing gear not working properly & Pilot ordered ship to wait. Had smooth night around the coast.
16 Nov. Fine Mg . high wind, sky clear, passed Beachey Head and close in round Isle of Wight, then stood out to sea , vessel now pitching a bit & reached Plymouth in the night, all ill but Pa Ma and George. Very comfortable ship and decent passengers & grub good, drinks too dear, 6d. for small bottle of beer is high.
Stty 17 Nov.
Woke up in Plymouth Harbour, fine strong cold wind ,I with a few other fellows went ashore before bkft in a watermans boat & and bought some things at P’mouth & posted several letters. Ship sailed at 3 aft against a strong head wind steering for the Bay of Biscay.In the night much rolling and various articles shifting about in the cabin. Dolly ill all day & can eat nothing. Willie does sickness in a business like fashion, knows it must be & does not humbug about it, the boys sit down to table at meals but dare not stop to eat anything on account of rumblings below and at Supper time not half of the passengers were present, E & self do not shirk and my appetite is prodigious. Had very little sleep at night, all kinds of noises about and a shoot for ashes runs slanting along one side of our cabin, with a rattle in it as if coals being shot.
Sunday 18th Nov.
Fine & bright, less wind & warmer, cannot keep our footing and are fairly in the Biscay swell, a few had breakfast, George, E & self, Frank sat down but soon rose & did not touch anything, Percy opened an egg then at once left it and his seat. In morning engines were stopped half an hour on account of some heavy luggage below rolling over, our piano being a chief offender, how will it reach NZ I wonder. The gale has blown itself out and left a heavy swell, in which I have been writing but it will be pleasant if the sea is not worse than this at any part. Again I have found how useful a supply of fruit would be, I bought some apples oranges & lemons at P’mouth, the children will eat the former when they can nothing else. I wish I had kept out some better clothing my old waterproof is coming unseamed & I have only a very light overcoat. At the dinner table today there were low wooden box trays placed for each person to contain his plates, otherwise they would all have fallen off the table during the ships rolling. Coming from dinner E had a bad fall and & bruised her arm, having to lie up for the rest of the day. A clear starlight night much warmer but so much noise with boxes shifting about, doors slamming and the unrest of being rolled from side to side of by berth that I had no sleep.

No events of note, fine weather & slight seas, head wind, S.E.
Sat 8 Dec.
Put into Table Bay 9.0 a.m. & & anchored off Mole at Cape Town, cloudy & rainy, soon after cleared up to fine. Nearly all passengers went ashore in a Tug 1/- each way. Some good stone buildings in Cape Town, pleasant suburbs, houses of one story of bungalow style, Table Mountain abt 3000 feet immediately behind the town was shrouded in clouds all day. A large & handsome Public Library, Parliament House costing 200,000 pounds, shops quite Eng looking, macadam roads & flagstone pavements. Dutch & Kaffir quarter cobblestones. Went with Frank George and another to the skirt of the Table Mt but could not have ascended under a full day, then got a good view from a small hill. At midday a hurricane of wind sprang up, called here a Southerly Buster, never felt such a wind, blew sand & gravel like small shot, most uncomfortable. Left by Tug at 3 for ship in a surfy sea, got a wetting, all had to be hauled over gangway from Tug to our ship, rough sea & rolling afterwards. Things cost about twice Eng price. Early summer here at the Cape. 8 Decr.
Sun 9.
Losing the warm weather, good swell on, few people at service, sitting throughout all ports closed tight, some sea came aboard. One passenger left behind at Cape, Kemp, got stupidly drunk and was said to have been locked up.
Tues 11.
Some sports on after deck, potato races, cock fighting, chalking the deck, cold strong wind. Less sea, boat steadier.
Thurs. 13.
Really bad day, rain, rough sea cold, misty, deck deserted, shipped seas now & then, much rolling & rattling, but life on board goes on as usual, no one ill, only passrs are confined to their cabins or the saloon, cards & music most of day. This day makes 4 weeks out from London and is the first unpleasant one experienced we are still going South and into colder regions, it is said we might sight an iceberg or two.
Fri 14.
Same as y’day, cold, foggy, rough sea, decks wet, vessel rolling, in smoke room most of day. Dolly ill & sleeping, low fever.
Saty 15.
Change to bright & sunny, all able to go on deck & get exercise, not a calm though by any means, played at Nap. For some hours, Bailey Warburton & Billing.
Sunday 16.
Cold rough & stormy with rain, no deck, high wind. Since leaving Cape on 8th ships course has been Easterly by South & towards Antarctic regions. Capt says Icebergs may be seen tomorrow.
Monday 17.
Avery high sea & half a gale from N.W., the crests of the waves blown into flakes which whiten all of the ocean, can scarcely stand on deck, some sails carried away, steerage hands called to assist crew. Below all as usual and only for Main deck being awash with water and rapid revolutions of engine when vessels stern is lifted in air nothing to denote the extra turbulence. The wind & rollers are following us or if we were parallel with them the ship would roll dangerously. At 6.30 PM another sail was blown to ribbons, and the huge billows seemed ready to engulf the ship. Several seas broke over the bulwarks, one over the poop deck knocked down a solitary passenger, cutting and bruising him badly. In evg a sea made its way through the Engine room airways on the upper and flooded several of the cabins adjoining ours. Captain said that the sea was as high as it had ever been in his experience, Mrs K much alarmed.
Tuesday.
Fine & high sea. Ship made her best days run in the gale doing 328 miles.
Wed to Saty.
Mostly cold wet & stormy & very little deck. A child in our saloon having chicken Pox we are quarantined off from the rest of the ship, each class keeping to itself. Arrangements had been made for a Fancy Dress Ball & c on Xmas eve, to take place in 1st Saloon, suspended in consequence. Some Albatroses & Cape hens which have followed the ship for last fortnight left today, probably cannot eat any more. The movement of these birds is wonderful for they seem to never use their wings
Sun 23.
Wet & cold. Our clergyman Rev. Windsor held a short service in our saloon.
Monday 24.
Cold & wet. Playing Nap most of the day. Being Xmas Eve several of our young men get very fresh and were up all night.

Wed 26.
Calm & smooth.
Thurs 27.
Entered the estuary leading to Hobart abt 4 am. First view of bush, abt 50 miles from the Heads to Hobart which appeared exceedingly pretty from the ship. Terraces of hills covered with the usual one story wooden bungalows, in the centre some broad & clean streets with a few Public buildings well situated, and immediately at the back of the town Mount Wellington 4600 feet, not unlike Table Mountain at the Cape. The Harbour is well sheltered, with deep water to the jetties abutting from the shore alongside one of which we moored, put out & took in some passrs & cargo and 350 tons of coal. With the wife & children I went on each of the 3 Electric Tram routes viz to Newton, the Vascades and Sandy Bay latter the best, 3d. a journey, speed fast. Villa bungalows are perched on the side of the hills, at a slope thus (mark on paper about 30 degree slope)) and the roadway between is covered in grass, they are surrounded with flowers common in England & bushes growing luxuriantly. The style of the shops is that of a Country town in Eng and the dress & speech is very English, not Scotch or Irish, moreover there are not as at Capetown a number of hideous Blacks disfiguring the place. We had a cheap & good dinner of 3 courses & etceteras for 1/- and felt very hot & sleepy, went into Reading room of library, a poor place after that at the Cape. Found plenty of flies at Hobart, now in the midst of summer. Str left at 8 for Wellington.

• Life of: Told by John Kent England. My Grandfather, John Kent, was born in China Walk, Lambeth, Surrey, in 1870 and married Ada Jane Sturges in Reading Register Office, Reading, Berkshire, in 1897. Their first child, Dorothy Mary was born in Mostyn Terrace, Lambeth, where John is shown as living with his brothers, James and Thomas, on the 1891 census. The family then moved to Whyteville Road, Forest Gate, West Ham, Essex, where John Leslie was born, followed by a move to Henley Road, Ilford, Essex, for the birth of Olive Norah. When my father, Edward Charles, was born the family had moved to Rutland Road, Ilford, Essex, and there they remained for the birth of Ada Louise and Hilda May. Their youngest daughter, Enid Nellie, was born in Grafton Road, Acton, Middlesex, in 1911, the year before Grandfather's political career took off with his election as a Councillor for the North West Ward of the Acton Urban District Council representing the Conservative Party.
Most of John Kent's life was spent working for Whitbread's Brewery. He retired in 1935 after 45 years service with the company. A photograph of a gold retracting pencil presented to John to commemorate 40 years of service to Whitbread's is shown in volume 3 section 3.2. This pencil is currently in my possession. Thanks to my niece, Wendy, Maurice Edward & Bernedette Kent's daughter, I have been able to obtain a photograph of Ada Jane Kent's Mayoral Badge of Office This family memento was given to Wendy by her grandfather, Edward Charles Kent, and is still in her possession in Canada.
My father, Edward Charles, upset his father by wanting to work in engineering instead of following a career as a solicitor's clerk, which had been his father's wish. He became an indentured apprentice instrument maker in 1918 with S.G. Brown Limited, a firm of scientific instrument makers at Gypsy Corner in North Acton in 1918, and completed his time in 1923 to become a journeyman instrument maker. In 1924, in association with two other employees of Brown's, Sidney Harold Lackington and Harold Maune, they formed the LMK Manufacturing Company in an old stable in North Acton to manufacture mechanical piece parts.

• Mayoress Badge of Office. Ada Jane Kent, nee Sturges, became Mayoress of Acton when her husband, John Kent, became Mayor in 1922.

She bequeathed her badge of office, to her granddaughter Shirley Elizabeth Newman, in her will dated 11th November 1943. It was later brought to the attention of Edward Charles Kent, by a local pawnbroker in Acton. He purchased it and presented it to his granddaughter, Wendy Kent, daughter of Maurice Edward & Bernie Kent in Canada, in whose hands it remains at today's date.
