Need Advice on connecting HEDGES brothers #2

[James R. Yeowell]

Not in Scockles Cottage, surely?

I presume you just mean Minster in Sheppey and not the actual Cottage?

No not in Scockles cottage about 10 minutes walk away in Minster though.
I have known there were Hedges on the Island but never thought they might be connected to mine. Now that would be something if a connection could be made.

Here we go again... another sister possibly marrying an Arnold!

Surname     First name(s)          District     Vol     Page
Marriages Dec 1858   (>99%)
Arnold    William        Romford    4a   156
Hanscomb    Mary Ann         Romford    4a   156
Hanscombe    Mary Ann         Romford    4a   156
Hedges    Esther         Romford    4a   156
Wheel    Thomas         Romford    4a   156
Wheele    Thomas         Romford    4a   156


Esther Hedges is of course likely a sister of Sophia and Selina Hedges.

And this:

Surname     First name(s)          District     Vol     Page
Marriages Jun 1864   (>99%)
Arnold    Sarah        Romford    4a   125
Harris    William         Romford    4a   125
Hedges    James         Romford    4a   125
Staines    Eliza Elizabeth         Romford    4a   125

But we know James Hedges married Eliza Elizabeth Staines, so it seems William Harris married Sarah Arnold.

There's a Harris family in Chatham who are Hawkers.

Here's a Harris family of Chatham who are Hawkers... notice where they're living.

Forgot to mention that two of those Arnold siblings are named Esther and Elijah... both of which are the names of siblings within the Hedges family who seem to have married into the Arnold family.
