Yes that is right, we are related very distantly. my great grandmother was Julia Spicerborn 1858.  She seemed to be living at Hertsfield Farm, Marden as a child but moved all over the place after marrying but was in Jasmine Villa, Marden during the First World War.  My Nanny ( Julia's daughter ) also had a lovely smile.  I write now as I have just given Marden museam ( at the library) a very old photo album which had Julia's family in it but as I couldn't identify them I thought others might be more interested.  I think it must be the Spicer family going back to about 1840 or so.  I was also very fascinated to read about Mary Boys and her connection to Royalty!

My great great grandfather was also the same Boys Spicer b 1819, d 1874, I visited Church in Marden & an old man told me old graves were moved some time ago because they wanted easy maintenance. A brother of some people doing some rose care in front of the Church told us some history, I beleive it was from him I leant that a Boys Spicer drowned.  There was a son of this Boys Spicer who was also called Boys, born 1847 so it was this one who drowned They lived & farmed at Chainhurst Farm Marden or Staplehurst. I'm descended from Julia Spicer - daughter of Boys senior.
