Hi Everyone,
I am trying to trace the family of Amy Alexander who was born abt 1784 in Wychling, Kent. Amy, daughter of John Alexander and unknown, firstly married David Russell in Bobbing Kent in 1823. Upon the death of David in Feb 1844 Amy married her longtime lover Thomas Tickner. I say longtime lover as David and Amy had separated by the time their third child was bapisted (Edward born abt 1830). Amy had other children after Edward was born in which she is named as being their mother but a lot of the baptisms indicate that she and David had been separated for some years. The registers also say David was living in Lenham and was employed as a blacksmith. The census show only one David Russell in Lenham and he was married to an Elizabeth Burton: so this is not my David.
Of Amy's children I have managed to find who they married but it is Amy and her siblings that I am trying to trace. I am not sure but she may have had a brother Thomas who was born abt 1781.
If there is anyone researching Thomas Tickner (widower) and Amy Russell (widow) who married August 1844 in Newnham and can shed some light on Amy's parentage, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers!............Jenny
