Title: Sevenoaks Kent, England - Look up
Post by: carolhulton on Tuesday 31 January 17 09:24 GMT (UK): Can anyone tell me if the original document recording William Carey and Mary Booker marriage includes any more information that their names and date 7 December 1767

Any information about Sevenoaks in Kent would be helpful as William was born in Hooe, and Mary in Buxted Sussex, so any reason why they married in Kent ???

Thanks
Carol

Are you sure you have the right couple ?

I hope I have, I was told that there wasn't any marriages for William Carey in Sussex for the appropriate period and that he could have married out of the county. After their marriage they resided and had their 7 children in Buxted as per the registrations.

How close was the baptism of the 1st child to the date of the marriage...?

Post by: StevieSteve on Wednesday 01 February 17 13:06 GMT (UK): Can do - I don't remember Sevenoaks being a ridiculously busy parish

Post by: carolhulton on Wednesday 01 February 17 22:01 GMT (UK): Thank you

I believe their first born was Sarah in 1769 and died 1774, then Mary in 1771, William and another Mary in 1774, then John, Thomas, James in 1781 ( my line) , then I think they moved to Catsfield and had another daughter Lucy in 1783 .

Any confirmation would be very much appreciated
Cheers

Post by: StevieSteve on Saturday 04 February 17 20:39 GMT (UK): Unfortunately, due to an IT stuff-up, they've managed to configure it so that no-one can access familysearch from the FHC.

It might be a month before I go again so if anyone wants to jump in, go right ahead

I have tried most things online but no luck. is the IT issue only temporary or have they closed that option

Post by: StevieSteve on Sunday 05 February 17 02:55 GMT (UK): Sounded like it was a mistake rather than by design, so hope would be fixed soon.
