This will probably sound a silly question for those in the know.
Is / are St Lawrence Ramsgate and St Lawrence Thanet the same church ?
What is the correct spelling, I've seen Lawrence and Laurence.
From IGI
I have Jesse Hoile m Sarah Saxby 12/5/1794
Benjamin Hoile bapt 5/10/1794
Don't really know if the two are connected.

St Lawrence is part of Ramsgate, and Ramsgate is on the Isle of Thanet. St Lawrence was a small village that developed into the town of Ramsgate.
The church is St Laurence, everything else is St Lawrence.

There is a Burial for a Benjamin Hoile, infant on 25th Dec 1794. Parents Jesse and Sarah. Cause of Death was Decay!
On thier 1794 marriage, the witnesses were Daniel Curling (Parish Clerk) and Robert Underdown.
There is a burial for a Sarah Hoile in 1812, aged 33, buried 14th Jun 1812.
Jesse Hoile remarried to Mary Durham 11th August 1816 St Lawrence. Witnessed by Isaac Jarman and Thomas Ashenden, Robert Pitts and John Hales

Sorry, didn't reply to this for some reason.
I wonder what 'Decay' meant, maybe failure to thrive.
I'm going to make myself look even sillier now !
Phil has explained St Laurence and St Lawrence.....but, on FamilySearch there is St Laurence THANET and St Laurence RAMSGATE, one and the same or two different ?
Also there is another Benjamin Hoile, son of Jesse and Sarah, 29/11/1795, St Mary Minster on Thanet.
I might have followed the wrong line with the St Laurence lot, Hoile, Saxby and Lariman, maybe have to start again.

Hi There,
Deacy in an Infant can just be 'sickly'
Natural Decay, is Old age.
St Laurence refers to the Church and St Lawrence is the town surrounding the church of St Laurence. St Lawrence is the upper part of Ramsgate.
So you use the U when referring the church and the W when reffering the place.
Where are you stuck?

In two places really, marriages at St Laurence Ramsgate are #9004231 and St Laurence Thanet # 9004230, this why I'm asking are they two different churches ?
Problem 2.
I've been following Benjamin Hoile, bapt 5/10/1794 St Laurence Ramsgate.
Who I thought was son of Jesse Hoile and Sarah Saxby, daughter of James Saxby and Martha Lariman, Sarah bapt. 4/2/1776.
If that Benjamin was the one buried on 25/12/1794 then I'm on the wrong track.
If only everyone didn't marry a Sarah, even my Benjamin did c1820.
Light refreshments needed now I think.

Not two different churches possibly just a mistake with thre batch number, or two sets because of the sheer amount of people who married there.
St Laurence is a small village within the Parish of St Lawrence in the District of Thanet
