Hi.
I Havent been able to clarify the place name, but have some info that may or may not be of use to you.
Samuel Critenden (also spelt Crittenden sometimes) father William was born in Maidstone, Kent in 1641. Mother Mary was born Margaret Martin in 1651 at West Farleigh, Kent.
Samuel married Mary Hodge on 31st Jan 1727 at Rochester, Kent.

Thanks for sharing, yes I was also aware of these dates. I have Margaret's burial entry in the parish listed on the 1st October 1718 but weirdly did not find the spouse/ father of the children William who died before her as she's already listed as a widow. I have a burial date of William for 5th October 1716 from someone else but I couldn't find it in the book

Thanks all, now it makes sense. The modern surname CRITTENDEN has various different spellings the further back you go including Critondon, Chittenden. Apologies I didn't include the other image but it's very similar to this. One entry has one of the child Chittenden and another spelled Crittenden and another spelled Creightingdon. I guess different people writing in the parish book all had their version of how to spell phoenetically which can easily happen with a surname like this.
