Tevelein Genealogy Notes

The records are now published in a book, a copy of which is in Canterbury Cathedral Archives[4]. Unattributed information is taken from St Alphage, Canterbury Parish Register held at Canterbury Cathedral Archive Centre. Births, deaths and marriages are at St Alphage, unless otherwise stated.
