John Austen of Northbourne, Kent. 1575 - 1624

Direct records are available dating back to the late 1500s where John Austen and his family lived in Northbourne in Kent, and was a well known Yeoman farmer. In the early 1700s John's descendents resettled to Wingham in Kent, where they remained and worked as Yeoman farmers for more than 100 years. The rapid development of Kent's seaside towns and the industrial revolution drew the family towards Ramsgate in Kent where a brewery was founded under the name The Regent Brewery. While the brewery was run by one branch of the family, another branch returned to farming around the Faversham area. Further down the line with the opportunities of a new life overseas presented themselves, the family dispersed to Canada, the USA, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, and around the UK, where a few links to farming remain, but on an ever decreasing scale.
This website of an Austen family starting in Northbourne belongs to Andrew Austen of Faversham. A branch of this family was associated with the Regent Brewery.
