The Anderson Family in Canterbury

This page lists those members of the Anderson family whose origins we are researching. Entries in italics are inferred or uncertain. Some details have been kindly supplied by other researchers and not personally verified by us. The list does not include children known to have died in infancy. Please contact Chris Warren if you feel that the family listed here is connected with your own research.

We have traced several generations of Andersons in Canterbury, Kent. We know quite a lot about the families of Thomas Anderson (1785 - 1859) and William Anderson (1815 - 1896). They and many of their children remained in Kent. William's son James Anderson moved to London in the 1860s, and we have found several other relatives who lived in the London area.

Some of the names below are linked to a more detailed record in the on-line family tree (people marked with an asterisk do not have a full record). When you click on a link, the linked record will be displayed in a separate window. There you can see the family relationships as we understand them, together with notes on what we have found in parish registers, census returns and other records.
