Ann WICKEN - Sundridge/Westerham
« on: Sunday 15 March 15 10:53 GMT (UK) »
I'm having another crack at an old brick wall - trying to find the parents of Ann WICKEN, born c1788 in Sundridge according to census returns, married 1816 to Josiah ROBERTS in Brasted and died 1867 in the workhouse in Sundridge.
Given her age at marriage, she may have been a widow. She may possibly be the sister or close relative of John Wicken, born around 1800 and buried in Sundridge in 1875.
As the marriage record is the only rendering of her maiden name that I've found, she could possibly have been a Wickenden (a more common name in the area) or a Wicking/Wickens etc. Her birthplace could equally have been a neighbouring parish - Westerham - Chevening etc.
I know all about her family coming down the line from her marriage to Josiah, it's going back up that's proved impossible so far.
Thanks for any help offered!

Well, as I'm sure you know, there's nothing obvious out there!

Have you seen the actual image of the marriage or just a transcription of it?
