Hi

Thanks all for responding so quickly.  I admit I was led down the wrong path by a User on another family tree site who had entered William Bennet as her husband, I had assumed she knew more than me as Agnes May Grindle is not one of my direct/indirect ancestors.

My experience told me that the William Bennett I was interested in was unlikely to have travelled from Tredegar in Monmouthshire to marry a Yorkshire lass so I can be pretty confident now that the  Agnes May (but Matthews) he married perhaps caused confusion in the other User's mind.

I can confirm that the father of Agnes May Grindle was indeed George Grindle and her mother was Rosanna Gullick. 

I will now correct the error in my tree and attribute the correct husbands to both ladies and hopefully the other User who must have assumed her Agnes's marriage to William Bennett can continue the research into the Rawson/Grindle line.

Thanks again to everyone who contributed, you're all superstars!

Again, thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread.

On the 1864 Hickmott / Wallace marriage, despite a bit more digging and the fact that there is no GRO registration and no mention of the couple in the 1871+ Census Returns suggests to me that perhaps the marriage never took place. 

I'm also still puzzled why Samuel and Susanna's 1839 Marriage does not appear on the FreeBMD site? 

Anyway, onwards and upwards...

Thanks again Queenie.

Very interesting as I thought James might have the middle name Henry as his 1900 death registration is James H Hickmott.

A James H Hickmott married a Helen Wallace in 1864 but I could find no further record of them. Not sure if it's the same person or a different one??

Looking for details of the origins of a James Hickmott bc1839-44 in Kent prior to 1868 when I know he married Mary Ann Wiles in Bromley. The couple went on to have 12 children between the years 1868 and 1888. 

James passed away in 1900 in Bromley so I'm guessing was born there or in one of the surrounding towns or villages but I can't establish exactly where and when.  On his parentage his 1868 Marriage Registration states his father's name as "Samuel" but so far I've been unable to find any matching families in the 1841 -1861 Census Returns.

I'm hoping that as there are a number of Hickmott branches in the Kent area that someone out there may have the details I'm looking for.  Any help appreciated.

Many thanks.

Thanks for your reply.

All of the information I have is that which is available on the public website www.familysearch.org.

All family trees on that site are defaulted to public view where anyone can edit and/or amend the details. Each person added to the site is automatically given a unique identification alpha-numeric code. The various letters/numbers I included in brackets are the codes for the people I am looking into.  The links you provided in your second email include the alpha-numeric codes at the end of the link.

That said, your links to the sources of evidence for Sarah Day's baptism and marriage were appreciated.

However, where I need help is trying to establish sources of evidence pre-1826 which confirm the names of Ann's parent(s). Whilst typing this, Rootschat member Capetown's post popped up and the information looks like a possible explanation.  If it's the same Sarah Day who had a baseborn female child in 1804 that could be the answer. Sarah would only have been around 14yo but not impossible and that may explain the lack of official baptismal record.

I will see if I can access the records Capetown mentions.
