Eastwood family - travellers, Kent, 1860's

[ladynicotine]

Hi

I'm trying to trace information about my ancestors the Eastwood's of Kent/Sussex.  My gt gt gt grandparents were John & Ann Eastwood, married c1860.  John's parents were John & Harriet.  Thanks to searching this site & reading some posts by Kuri I've discovered that John seniors parents were William & Philadelphia.  I'm trying to find details of the marriage between John & Ann (according to the 1911 census they'd been married about 50 years, which puts the marriage around 1860).  Their first daughter Phoebe (later Wingrove) was also born in 1860.

I'm also trying to find both John senior & family & John junior & family in the 1861 census.

John & Ann's daughter Caroline (born 1867) "married out" to a fishmonger in Dartford (Alfred Slater), & I'm descended from her.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi

I do have a tree on A* - Coles family tree.  Don't yet have any dates for William & Philadelphia.  The earliest birth dates I have are for John Eastwood senior & Harriet.  My screen name on A* is ladynicotine, same as here.

Any help you could give would be much appreciated.

Sorry, have just noticed the "reply 3 times" thing.  This is what you get for checking on the sly at work

I've discovered a bit more about William & Philadelphia, but just one or two dates, & I'd need to confirm them from another source.  It's where both John senior & John junior & families got to in 1861 I'm really puzzled about at the moment...
