Paskins Family Harrietsham

[Dorking123]

I am interested in a Samuel Paskins who was born abt 1777 in Broadwater by Worthing in Sussex

I know he was a lawyer in Harrietsham near Maidstone in Kent dying there in 1855

His wife Charlotte was ten years younger & died in 1868

As far as I can make out they had a number of children

Robert 1805, Christopher 1810, Thomas 1813, James 1816, Samuel 1821, Charlotte 1824 & William 1827

Only the last  three of these appear in the IGI so I am unable to confirm their parents without recourse to the parish records in Maidstone

Samuel (1777 to 1855) had a sister Jane (1765 to 1836) who is my direct ancestor - she lived in Cobham near Gravesend

Please can anyone help me with this family

Thanks

Gerry

Paskins is not a common name in Kent.

The Mid Kent Marriages Index 1754-1911 only has 8 entries for the surname PASKINS

That gives me some clues but it is the baptism records I really need

Hello Again Jean

There are of course a lot of Marsh familes in East Kent

Mine are the Curling Marsh branch - my direct ancestor is Thomas Curling Marsh born Dover April 1789 died Jan 1872 also Dover

He was Town Crier of Dover for many years

Hi Gerry.
My Marsh family are from Lamberhurst later Marden Kent,with a Bridger Marsh born c 1730 died 1805.
My Pack family came from the Harrietsham area and I was married at Cobham!

             Regards Jean.

PS.

Have you looked at the Cityark site? Parish records for Cobham are there but not sure if the dates you want are there on line.

I am related to half of Cobham in the 19th century but no Marsh branch!

My names are Wickens, Bennett, Copelin, Cuckney, Rapley & a lot of others

One of my Cuckney ancestors was born Jane Paskins - she first married a Richard Cuckney then a John Copelin (but after she had had 5 children with him first)

I have been trying to find out for years how she came to be in Cobham - I suspect when she was widowed in 1792 she went with her three infant children to live with her brother Samuel who was a lawyer in the Maidstone area which isn't a million miles from the Cobham/Cuxton area where all her descendants lived

I am well familiar with the CityArk site thanks!

Well, Robert PASKINS a "sawyer" in Harrietsham 1851 census says he was born in Sittingbourne ............ would this be the same Robert?  There is a baptism at Sittingbourne of Robert son of "James" and Charlotte PASKIN 3 Apr1812 (of Smarden) http://www.familysearch.org ............ perhaps James is a mistranscription of Samuel?

James and Thomas PARKINS bp 7 Jan 1816 sons of Samuel and Charlotte might also be worth looking at http://www.familysearch.org ............... you can check the film number via the library catalogue on the old Familysearch site to see which parish(es) it covers.
