Kent / Robert Jacob
« on: Thursday 26 June 25 11:33 BST (UK)  »
Hello.
Ive posted quite a bit about my Jacob family up as far as Robert in previous posts,but i still cant get beyond him with any real certainty.
Robert Jacob married Mary Ann Pierce Feb 9th 1746 Boughton under Blean.Their 1st child,so far as i can see,was Robert bapt 9th April 1748 Boughton under Blean.
Where im stuck is Robert Snrs birth.I think his death is 6th Sept 1792 Chilham,and his wife Mary 18th Feb 1797 Chilham.I think she was born in 1726.
Theres a birth in Faversham for a Robert 16th Oct 1709 to Miles and Mary,and another 19th April 1722 Westwell to Robert.
My family has a long association with the Faversham/Boughton/Chilham area,Faversham being my home town,and my great grandfather Thomas was a foreman at the Gunpowder works.So at first glance,the Faversham birth seems more likely,but for me,it feels a bit early.He would have been 37 when he married Mary.
Looking at the other birth,Westwell is about 10 miles from Faversham,so not that far.
Please can anyone find anything that would help me establish which of these two Roberts is mine.Maybe the age at death of the Robert whose registered in Chilham,or anything else that might help.
Many thanks.

Im struggling to find Philidelphias baptism on Ancestry.In fact,there seems to be very little info on there.Are you able to see any siblings for Philidelphia?Also,can anyone see a marriage for a William Parris to Mary?
Many thanks.

Kent / Re: Who is Philadelphia?

Thanks for the replies.
I think QueenoftheWest has cracked it,as Paris,and its varients,was one of the surnames i hoped id find.Ive come across Phillis,and Philly,being used in place of Philidelphia.This is a DNA match who shares several matches that go back to Paris/Parris/Parrish,and i was trying to link them up.
I will have a look at her parents,to try and see how she fits in.
Many thanks for the help.

I have a baptism for a George Cork 7th April 1805 Maidstone,to John and Philadelphia.I can find no marriage for these two names.Please can anyone tell me who she was?

Many thanks.

Sussex / Re: Elizabeth Uwens

Thanks for the replies.
I think Harting is unlikely,given the distance.
I think it was legal to marry at 12 back then,so 15 is possible.
Uwens is quite an unusual name.I did wonder if it might be a misspelling of Owens.

Sussex / Elizabeth Uwens
« on: Saturday 27 July 24 11:27 BST (UK)  »
Could anyone please help me establish who this lady was?
She married Benjamin Allen at St Nicholas Church,Brighton,on 31st May 1819.
The 1851 census has her place of birth as Barkham,Sussex in 1804.On the 1861,its Barcombe,and on the 1871,its Chailey.
The only potential birth record i can see is Elizth Uwen on 27th Dec 1801 at Harting,to Thomas and Mary.Being unfamiliar with the area,im not sure about that.And i cant find a Thomas/Mary marriage.
Id be very grateful if anyone can help.

Many thanks.

The Common Room / Re: Why so much Scottish DNA?
« on: Tuesday 09 April 24 16:26 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for all the contributions.
My dads 3xgreat grandmother was Jane Orm(i)ston,born 4th Nov 1798 Beadnell,Northumberland.Its back through her lines that ive found Scottish ancestry.She married John Tilly on 1st August 1820 Boughton under Blean.Ive no idea what brought her South.She died in the same area where she married.
My dads paternal line(my grandad),his paternal ancestors,according to my research,were Huguenots who worked in the Faversham Gunpowder Industry.They married into local East Kent families of many generations standing.Grandads maternal line was also very old Kent families,brickfield workers and farm labourers.
My dads mums lines(my nan),her paternal side Surrey/Sussex,then rural Somerset to long before 1800.Her maternal line,all rural Kent and Sussex,going way back.
This is why i cant understand 29% Scottish,unless my research is wrong.There do seem to be quite a lot of DNA matches who only go back to Scotland.

Lee,

The Common Room / Why so much Scottish DNA?
« on: Saturday 06 April 24 15:29 BST (UK)  »
My dads DNA has come back as 29% Scottish,but the only line i can find that goes North of the Border is a single 7xgreat grandfather born in Kelso in 1659.Would that be enough to provide that level of Scottish DNA,or is it likely ive got something wrong,or things are not as they seem from the records.
Any thoughts appreciated.

TIA.
