Hi Sigplat

This 1861 entry seems to fit:

1861

Quarry Rd, Tonbridge

William MARTIN head mar 44 lab to masons b.T Wells
Sarah wife 39 b.St Mary Cray
William son 19 lab to masons b.T Wells
Edward son 17 painter's app. b.T Wells
Mary dau 14 b.T Wells
Henry son 12 b.T Wells

RG9/493 folio 55 page 1

Do you have any further info from the marriage certificate or 1871 census which might confirm or discount this family?

Best wishes

Thanks so much... Now I have some first names to go by to find Henry's mother.
Thanks

If you are interested in Jane Traies Roffe's genealogy on her mother's side there is a lot of information on another Rootschat thread - trayes/trease & olvar/oliver?phillips/burrow
- probably best to start at last page of that thread and work backwards to the front.
