I went to view the Linton PR again today, and this time saved copies of the pages concerned so I can send them to either of you if you like.
Re bkr188's point about whether the father of Iden 1723 was John or Iden, I can't speak for what is in the Marden PR. But John and Iden can look very similar if the cursive capital I is written like J, and I can understand how a transcriber could confuse the two, especially if he has never heard of Iden Plane.
But I have copies of the 4 children's burials in Linton, and the father was Iden all cases.
Specifically for Iden buried at Linton on 2 Aug 1723, the narration is "Iden Son of Iden & - (mother's name omitted) Playne of Marden".  In Iden, the I is essentially the same as J, the d is written as ∂ and the e as Ԑ. If this isn't the Iden baptised at Marden on 24 Jun 1723 (supposed father John) then I don't know where he came from. But I guess the complete answer is in the Marden PR, something I can't look at quickly.
The Martha Gardner who was buried  in 1706 was definitely the wife of John. I had not noticed before that John Gardner's burial date of 11 Apr 1712 was the same as George's, coincidence I think.
Edward Ossen's burial on 16 Mar 1713 was actually in 1713/14, so it was after the burial of his father John Ossen on 21 Oct 1713.
Unexpectedly the Mary Plaine who was buried at Linton in 1758 was described as the wife of Iden Plaine of Staplehurst. An Iden Plane was baptised at Staplehurst in 1718, but I think he died in 1744. On the face of it  Iden 1687 lived at Staplehurst around 1758, well after his brother John 1685 the latter's wife Anne died there.
Bearkat, does that fit in with what you know about Staplehurst?

Another correction: the references to Martha Plane's husband John Gardner in my previous post should read Mark Gardner.
