John Beach bap. 23rd August 1767 Benenden, Kent
He married Anne Colebrook 1801 Benenden who was a widow, i am trying to find out who Ann was!
I think she was Ann Judge b. about 1758 and married a Robert Colebrook in 1776
The only Robert Colebrook death is not until 1849 or maybe i have the wrong Colebrook

Thank you for that
I think i will need to look a bit deeper!
Nothing looks right with Robert Colebrook and dates, must be another Colebrook that Ann married

On FreeReg, there is a marriage in Rochester  - 16 Jan 1797

Bartholomew COLEBROOK (widower) married Ann COOPER (spinster)
Both OTP

I can’t see any other entry, or a burial, for Bartholomew.
