Title: Marriage approx early 1780's, Nettlestead or Waterinbury
Post by: lizdb on Thursday 16 April 20 17:28 BST (UK)

Hi
Wonder if anyone has access to PRs for Nettlestead or Wateringbury?

Im looking for a marriage for a Robert Watson to an Ann ......

First known child chr 1784 in Wateringbury
Subsequent children chr in Hadlow, though no marriage there

Possible link with Nettlestead.

If neither of these parishes, then any other parish in the area?

No other info needed.
Thanks.

  I haven't come up with anything in that timeframe. There  was a much earlier (1748) marriage in Nettlestead, possibly his parents? Then a marriage in 1788 in Lee, which I think is in a rather different area. I was using the Kent records on Findmypast.

Thanks for looking.   Yes, I reckoned the 1748 might be his parents too. Working on that one! 

It is just the marriage of the Robert (bn 1750/52ish) and Ann that I cant find anywhere - first child chr 1784 Wateringbury, subsequent children chr Hadlow.

Don't know if this has any relevance to your search but whilst looking in Wateringbury marriage register there is a marriage of a Thomas Ashby and Frances Davis on 16th January 1785 with one of  the witnesses being Robert Watson (the other Matthew Taylor). Maybe a relative of Ann's? Robert doesn't appear to witness any other marriages so isn't a churchwarden or such.

Sorry I haven't found anything more relevant to your original enquiry.
