Good Afternoon All.

Need a bit of clarification Please.

Richard Peck/Pack b 1753 Marden Kent. Married Ann Mackender 8/11/1790 Marden Kent.
She was Born 7 February 1868 died 15 July 1801, Marden, Kent.
Children:
Mary b 1791,
Thomas 1792 ( not sure if he is theirs)
John b 1794
Elizabeth b 1795/6,
Ann 1800.

In the mean time:
Then there is a Lydia Golden marries 3/12/1795 a William Gray/Grey.
The William Gray that popped up was William Gray bap 27/July/1765 of Hawkhurst, East, Sussex, of the Hawkhurst gang. Their history is fascinating.

There is another Willian Gray bap 14/8/1763 St Lawrence, Kent.


Now
Richard Peck, widower and Lydia Grey/Gray widow married  2 July 1804 Salehurst, Sussex.
Children:
Charles  1805 Goudhurst, Kent
Daniel 1809 Marden
Sarah 1814 Marden
Henry 1824 Marden.

So in the house hold now are Richard & Ann's  and Richard and Lydia's children.
Richard died in 1844 Marden, & Lydia 1843 Marden Kent.

BUT:

There is a entry on Ancestry/uk of a
Richard Peck born 1780-1783  his father is Richard age 30yrs mother age 17. (From the way it reads, this young Richard was born out of wedlock.

Young Richard marries 1808, residence, Salehurst a Lydia Grey born 1787 died 1843 Marden Kent.
Young Richard died 1812 Marden Kent. They had 1 child during their marriage?


So a tangled web.
Cheers

Hi All who replied.

Here is a bit more info.

William Gray bp 27/7/1765 St Laurence,  Hawkhurst Kent. Father Arthur mother Elizabeth, mn Spice

He married Lydia Golden 3/12/1795 Goudhurst. his parish was Marden Kent, by licence.

I have maybe 1 child for a Lydia. Phebe Grey  bap 25/1/1801 Marden, Kent.

Lydia then married Richard Peck 2/7/1804 Salehurst Sussex by banns. Lydia was a widow and Richard a widower.

So William may have died between 1795 & 1804.

So did he died or  is this William Gray b 1765 Hawkhurst, Kent, indicted for feloniously stealing bales of Spanish wool 10 April 1805. He, along with John McCarty b 1771 age 34 and John Hall b 1753 age 52. They were tried in the Old Bailey 24/4/1805

Lydia was a widow when she married Richard Peck.

I have more info on the trial if needed.

Afternoon
mckha489 and bearkat.

Is there any chance of sending me a link to the Mardent, Kent, BMD's film pre 1813- 1875  St Michael & All Angels.  1707 to 1812 Please.  It could solve a mystery.
Cheers

Good Afternoon,

 Mckha489 &  bearKat,

Thank you both for the information.
I was thinking perhaps Lydia may have been married before and Richard was her second marriage. Thankyou bearkat for that
More searching.
I do wish we could still get the reels of BDM parish records transcripts from the Family History Centre.
Full of good detail.
I will try both of you suggestions.

Cheers
