Name Phyllis Sylvia Valentine POYNTER Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 5 Feb 1919 Faversham Reg Dist, Kent, England 
- GRO ref: Poynter, Phyllis S V q1 1919 mother's maiden name: Poynter, Faversham RD 2a 1297; GRO online index shows middle names as Sylvia Valentine and does not show a mother's maiden name, suggesting she was illegitimateActual date from 1939 register
Gender Female Occupation 1939 Hill Farm, Key Street, Kent, England Domestic Servant - For William and Janet Kemsley; also present were 2 others, entries closed as at 27 Dec 2016, probably Kemsley children, and 2 school teachers, I guess boarders, who would have all created more work for Phyllis.
(Ref: RG101/1854H/010/28 Letter Code: DJVO)
Residence to 23 Jan 1944 Sutton Baron, Borden, Kent, England - At the time she joined the land army.
Occupation to 23 Jan 1944 Land and House work - The nature of farming in East Kent, with lots of fruit and hops grown, meant that many women will have done seasonal work on the land, picking fruit and hops, before the war started. Since Phyllis only joined the land army in 1944, even if she wasn't doing this pre-war she may well have during the war. This is likely what is being referred to as 'land work'.
Occupation From 24 Jan 1944 to 19 Jul 1948 Women’s Land Army - Phyllis worked in East Kent to 18 April 1946, when she was transferred to West Kent. She was transferred back to East Kent on 5 Oct, I think 1946, but possibly 1947 (with writing from the line below, not clear on the image).
Residence 1988 Street Farm, Stoke Road, Hoo, Rochester, Kent, England - Her home at the time of her death (from probate calendar entry)
Died 29 Jan 1988 Chatham Reg Dist, Kent, England - GRO ref: Goatham, Phyllis Sylvia V, reg Feb 1988, dob 5 Feb 1919 Chatham RD 16 518
