    Keith - very few refs - families probably came into Kent late 1800s? Or later perhaps.

    I don't have the christian name of the Bombadier whose photo is in the Dover Express (see below).

    SANSUM, Bombardier, RA, (PHOTO) awarded DCM, (details), a Dover man (Dover Express 28-1-1916 p. 8)

    1891 Census shows: Living at the School House, WORTH, Kent.

    In 1911 William still at the school house. Daughter Edith Kate was teaching in Folkestone, living at 100 Radnor Park Rd.

    There are one or two more families of SANSOM/SANSUM came into Kent from London, if the one above is not connected.
