Hi Barbara
Sorry for not replying! 
I have paused on the George Larkin bit for the time being, sometimes working on other areas of the family helps!

I am going to concentrate on the Thomas Larkin 1701 line brother of your John and my William
I have worked on your John line over the past few months and have some gaps which i may ask you some questions if ok.

Its so interesting growing up near Horsmonden all my life and never realising that my ancestors were local to me, i have actually worked in the Schoolhouse farm house garden about 20 years ago.
I also have a connection with the Tompsetts and Tworts by marriage on my mums Collins family and my aunt and uncle used to work on Hazel street farm near to Ashdowns.

Hi Barbara
Thanks
I have come to a bit of cross roads as well with George i keep leaving it and returning every now and then!
My direct line is John & Thomas's brother William born 1706 Goudhurst
Joseph 1738 Benenden
Joseph 1771 Beckley
Isaac 1801 Brede
Isaac 1829 Sedlescombe
Frederick 1861 Hastings
After that they stayed in Hastings until 1960s now we are local to Horsmonden
I have been working on your John Larkin line for the last few months as my mothers line is Collins from Marden and it seems both family's lived closely in Goudhurst, Brenchley and Horsmonden
I think it could be that Georges father is Edward as Edward also born in Brenchley although i have John Larkin and Elizabeth pencilled in

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

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

Hi Barbara
Thanks for looking
I am looking as we speak for Sarah's burial
No joy so far
Looked at national archives and found a couple of bits of where a Joseph Larkin of Beckley lived

Hi Barbara
Thanks
I have the Goudhurst children for George but not the Brenchley

I have family on my mother's side from Glassenbury part of Cranbrook so know it well!
I think it's almost certain that Joseph from Benenden is my Joseph as his death record it has his birth year as about 1739

I Will keep looking for his marriage!
I cannot find anything in the sussex marriage records in case they married in Beckley
Benenden has not come up either

Hi Barbara
Yes i do think thats the closest link so far
William Larkin - m - Frances Ballard 10th April 1732 Cranbrook
Children all born in Benenden -
George 1733
William 1735/36
Joseph 1738
Frances 1742

All we need is a marriage for Joseph ?
I think a bit of foot work is coming up

I think William Larkin b - 1706  was born in Goudhurst if the same his father George born in Marden?
Funny enough that takes me to my mothers family the Collins and Fevers from Marden
