Limpsfield Parish Registers - JOHNSON/KENWARD

[HaydenP]

Hi Valda

What a wonderful collection of given names.  I hope I can claim them!

As you say I do need to carefully check the original entry for Julia's baptism.  A misrecording or a mistranscription from Kenward to Kember is not impossible and she does fit very nicely in the sequence of James and Harriet's children.  The right year too!.

Thank you for all the other goodies too.  There's plenty to think about there.

Thank you so much for all that detail.

Regards

Peter

Hi Peter

The first step is to see what information Julia gave about her father on her marriage and see if it confirms his name was James.

Hi Valda

Yes.  I sent off for the marriage record as soon as I received Jane's reply to my original post so I guess it will be a few days yet.

Thanks

I have just received the marriage certificate for John Johnson and Julia Kenward 11 Sep 1837.  They were married in and living at Tattsfield (modern Tatsfield? - about 3 miles from Limpsfield).  John's father was Benjamin, which I already  had.  Julia's father was JAMES.

This keeps open the option that Julia=Julia Kember christened  8 Mar 1818 at Limpsfield (parents James and Harriet).  It would be WONDERFUL if somebody check that entry in the Limpsfield PRs.  If not I'll follow up Kerry's helpful tip. 

By the way, Valda, what was your source for the marriage of Richard Lepard and Allice Kenward?  I cannot find it on Family Search.

Thanks for all you help everybody

Hi Valda

Thanks for the link.  Unfortunately I can't replicate whatever you did to get to the Lepard/ Kenward marriage.  I'm getting error messages on "events" and "directory".  Perhaps that's the problem.
