According to my records Samuel Paskins (1777 to 1855) married Charlotte nee Gee (1787 to 1868) on the 30th May 1807 in All Saints Maidstone
They had seven children I know of namely
Christopher 1810, Robert 1811, Thomas 1813, James 1816, Samuel 1821, Charlotte 1824, & William 1827
All reached adulthood with the probable exception of Samuel baptised 22nd April 1813
All were born in Harrietsham with the exception of Robert (Sittingbourne) & Thomas (Hollingbourne)
Robert (1811) married Ann nee Coomber on the 13th October 1832 & they had eleven children
Their son William (1839 to 1917) did indeed emigrate down under - he married an Elizabeth Mary Wood (1864 to 1921) in Queensland in about 1890
I have a lot of detail on this familiy - both ancestors & descendants - far too much to clutter up this site - if you want more detailed info please send me a private message via this site to give me your personal email address
