Moses Mew - Kent?

[davidmew99]

Hello

I am trying to trace the birth of Moses Mew.

He was married in Marden Kent 18 Oct 1790
and died in Marden 2 June 1816.

His wife was Elizabeth Barden and their children were Thomas, Lucy and Michael with possibly others.

Any leads will be greatfully received.

Kind Regards

David Mew

Hello David.
I do have a Mary Mew nee Beale or Tuckwell from Marden in my tree she was married to a Richard Mew before she married my GG grandfather Edward Marsh in 1843.Richard I think died c 1839,he must be connected to your Mew family.

Hello Isobelruss

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my query.

The Michael Mew age 40 in 1841 is Moses son
Thomas Mew age 55 in 1841 is likely to be related, but I am not able confirm things yet.

Are the Mew's part of your research? If not thanks again for looking.

Kind regards

David Mew

Hello Jean

Thanks for the Mary Mew information.

I have two Richard Mew's born in Marden

1.born 26 Mar 1795 christened 20 April 1795 parents John and Sary
2.born 2 May 1805 parents John and Sarah.

It is possible that Sary is actually Sarah and perhaps the first child died.

John and Sarah also had the following children  Lucy, Mary, Harriet and Teling. So far I have not been able to tie any of them up with my relatives, but as you suspect it is likely they are connected.

Kind regards David

Hi David.
I was wondering if you have found the Marden archives site.It has many parish records there but sorry not your Moses's baptism.
It does look like my Richard was his and Sarah son and the first son called Richard died.

If you donnot have the site its- http://www.mardenhistory.org.uk/2lev_archives.htm

In the 1841 census Mary Mew and Edward Marsh are at the same address in Marden.There is also a Thomas Mew aged 2 so not sure if he was Richard's or Edward's son, Richard died in 1838.

My main research is the Marsh family from Lamberhurst later Marden.My grandfather John Thomas Marsh was born there in 1879.

Not sure if you know that area of Kent,it was a hop growing area.

            Kind regards Jean.

Hello Jean

Thanks for the feedback.

I was lucky enough to find the Marden site a few weeks ago and have been to their Heritage Centre where they have access to a database with more detailed information than is available on their web site. Well worth the trip and very helpful people.

Kind Regards   David
