Feakins/Payne Completed

[Eyesee]

Surname was BENTLEY, Catherine was born Lenham, Kent from memory. Found the FEAKINS family in 1861 where Catherine was was born Lenham.

Have just had a look at the original handwritten image from the index for WBP marriage to Catherine, and his name is in there twice. Obviously could not read the second name from the register. William Butty PAYN and William Bully PAYN.

Hi Ian
Aaah just found your latest post, the plot thickens. Will post what I have written anyway. 

William & Catherine (nee Feakins) Payn & 4 children came out on the Helen Denny in 1875.
William was born at Minster, Isle of Sheppy, Kent & Catherine Feakins at Lenham Kent.
William Bully Payn was the name found for the marriage in 1864.
All family records since they arrived in NZ has the the spelling as Payne and all the children had Bentley in their names. e.g. Eliza Bentley Payne married William Stephens.

I haven't seen any census for Feakins or Payne/Payn yet as I have only recently started looking at this branch of the family after receiving a copy of the family from a distant relly.

Helen Denny 1875

William Payn 33
Catherine Payn 28
Eliza Payn 10
James W Payn 7
George Payn 5
Amy Payn 9mths

My head is spinning, did Catherine have 3 before she married William ? was Bentley the name of the father? Why would the name Bantley be give to the rest of the children.
But then the ages don't match with the shipping list.

1871
Hamdale??, Newington, Kent
William BENTLY, head mar 31, Farm servant, born Kent, Manston/Marston - could be Minster
Catherine do, wife mar 25, born Kent, Lenham
Eliza do, dau 5, born Kent, Bredgar
James W do, son 3, born Kent, Newington
George do, son 6m, born ditto
RG10/982/F138/P18

This is just a coincidence I think or there is an enumerator error in that they heard Bently and took it as the surname. No sign that I can find of any PAYN/PAYNEs in 1871 with these names.

Eliza PAYNE birth Dec qtr 1865, Milton, 2a 698 - Milton covers Bredgar
James William PAYNE birth Jun qtr 1868, N Aylesford, 2a 416
George Henry PAYNE birth Sep qtr 1870, Milton, 2a 748 - Milton also covers Newington
Amy PAYNE birth Sep qtr 1874, Milton, 2a 753

Hi Lu & Ian,

Yes James William & Eliza B, those 2 match the ages for arrival in NZ

Mackiwi  

Wow 1871 & Births
1851 looks like Williams parents & siblings, although the only siblings I have for him are Rachel & Ann from newspaper death notice of his mother.
