Hello Molly,
You may already know that Sarah (Sally) was the daughter of William Tupper and Sarah Smith who were married at Mereworth on 10th October 1759. Sarah Smith was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Smith and had been born at Mereworth on the 10 October 1733 and died in Mereworth in 1825.
I haven't been able to find who William Tupper's parents were or where he was born but there were a number of other Tuppers in Kent at that time. William and Sarah had nine children, Sally was the third child and my husband's 2Xgreat-grandfather Charles was the eighth. He was born on 27 May 1775 and married Susanna Powell at St Andrew, Holborn in 1799. They had 7 children, one of whom was William born in 1809. He emigrated to Australia with his family in 1852 during the gold rush and settled in Bendigo. His son William had a son Henry born 1878 who had a son Edward in 1902 who was my husband's father.
That's a potted history version of the family. Naturally I have much more but Rootschat is probably not the best way to communicate it.

Hi there. Sorry I went quiet, I was going back over my Coatsworth stuff all weekend!

I can send you my postal address and my e-mail address in a personal message, if you want to send me more about the Tupper side. I really only need Sarah's ancestors though and I think you already told me as much as you know about them, thank you.

I plan to go to the National Archives in Kew on Thursday, which is also where my nearest Latter Day Saints Family History Centre is located. If I can't get anything further there, I might have to go to Kent, to the  Archives which are in the  library at Canterbury Cathedral.

I'll let you know if I find anything relevant.

Hi Molly,
If you don't mind sending me your email address that would be good. A few years back I discovered a Tupper relative living in Hampshire who had inherited a whole drawer full of letters dating back to the late 1700's and a family bible. I wrote an article about these letters for our Australian genealogical magazine . I could send you a copy if you like. Some of them were from Sarah's brother Charles.
I would be very interested in anything you are able to find in the archives. I haven't been to the Canterbury ones.
