The Monk Family of Sussex & Kent
The
Monk
family
were
originally
from
Worth,
Sussex,
a
village
that
has
now
been
swallowed
up
by
the
town
of
Crawley.
Around
1822
they
moved
to
Halling,
Kent.
There
are
several
links
by
marriage
to
other
Kentish
families
in which we have an interest: Parris, Mayatt and Beadle.
The
picture
is
of
Alfred
Monk
(1862-1946)
and
his
family.
It
was
probably
taken
around
1912
(tap/click
to
enlarge).
Alfred
married
Clara
Beadle
in
1882.

On
the
far
right
hand
side,
two
boys
can
be
seen
at
the
window,
watching
the
photo
shoot.
They
may
be
Jesse
and
Ernest
Hart
who
appear
in
the
1911
census
(age
9
and
3
respectively)
living
next
to
the
Monk
family
with
their
parents
Jesse
and
Amy,
and
3 older sisters.
We
have
much
more
information
to
share
about
the
Monk
family,
over
six
generations,
starting
with Thomas Monk (1748-1831).
