Hi Lee

You will need to provide some idea of location in 1851 and 1841 for any chance of a lookup in those census years at present - from children's births/another census perhaps.

Is this them in 1861 (birthplaces for parents differ from your info) 

1861

Village, Farnborough, Kent

George KEMBER/KIMBER head mar 56 ag lab b.Orpington
Sarah wife 50 b.Rotherhithe Surrey
William son 15 ag lab b.Farnborough
Clement 12 b.Farnborough
Esther dau 9 b.Farnborough
Ruth dau 7 b.Farnborough

RG9/464 folio 205 page 8

My mother is a Kimber and is thought to be descended from these Chelsfield Kimbers. Stephen Kimber (b1821) is her great grandfather. Unfortunately we have no evidence of John and Sarah (Stephen's parents) nor of John's parentage - yet! John

Hi John,

There is 2 marriages recorded in all of Kent for John Kimber both being to a Sarah Bird. John was baptised in Riverhead Sevenoaks "the natural son of Mary Kimber" 28 Aug 1781. He died 13 April 1854 and was buried 16 April 1854 at St Martian Tours Chelsfield. J Baugh was the rector signed in the register. John at the time of death was in the Bromely workunion. The witness at this marriage in Wilmington is John Hand and James Palmer. The marriage banns were the only record at Bexley.

There is a Sarah Bird born 1783 in Farnborough daughter  of George Bird. Still chasing more info on this family. But could explain the 1st son being named George. Sarah died 31 Oct 1829 also buried St Martian Tours Chelsfield. James Williams was the curate that signed in the register.

The St Martian Tours Chelsfield registers show the surname spelling as Camber. John death certificate shows Kimber. Where all became very confusing with all the different spellings.
my email is lee1800 at hotmail..com if you would like to contact me I can send you copies of all the documents.

By the way does your mother come from Stephen Kimber & Harriet Davis? I have contact with another person from this line. And have photo's of Stephen & Harriet and where John & Sarah lived.
