Title: Kennington Parish Register Lookup BOURNE please
Post by: bishopsb on Tuesday 29 January 08 23:57 GMT (UK)

I am searching for a birth record for William Bourne of Kennington, probably circa 1780.  I know he was married 1802 in Kennington. 

I would greatly appreciate info from anyone with access to the parish registers or who is going to have a look through Kennington for their surnames.

I had a look at my records for Kennington St. Mary,  but I can't find a Baptism.  I can't find the Marriage either, but I've found the Banns for a William Bourne & Charlotte DOWN (Ashford) banns called 21st, 28th Mar, 4th April 1802.
The Church was St. Mary Kennington.

If that is your William & as Charlotte was from Ashford, it's more likely the marriage took place there.
