THOMAS HARRIS & FRANCES LUCKHURST - 2 marriages identical names same month

[susiee]

I am hoping  i have found    a possible  part of    a   brick wall .

Years ago  i   am thinking i may have incorrectly  picked the right names but the  wrong couple as the parents of   
Rev George HARRIS     Baptised  - 9 Nov 1787  at St George Gravesend  Kent 
Baptism record -   Parents -Thomas HARRIS  FRANCES LUCKHURST
 This Thomas  HARRIS   was  a   Thames  Waterman  -    and  wife  FRANCES LUCKHURST   as his parents .
(  And his Father  was THOMAs HARRIS -Fisherman   ---- The Elder who died  ) 


They also had a son Rev William HARRIS
On his Obit in the Congregation Magazine they also  name his Mother as Frances Luckhurst 
so 2 brothers  who were Congregation Ministers
 
I have been having a number of problems   with this   couple   and have continued to try and see  if there was   an identical  couple   married around the same time  in Gravesend     perhaps .

And i have found another marriage  who  may fit as correct  parents

This   new   marriage  i have found    is
Thomas  HARRIS   & FRANCES LUCKHURST
9 August  1770 Rochester kent
Diocese  of Rochester   Kent England
I am wondering if  some one can help  me find this THOMAS HARRIS    who was married  9 Aug 1770     occupation  .
I am thinking these  brothers  -  the    2 Revs George and William HARRIS  might be the sons  of this couple.   Not the Waterman .

FindMyPast has a transcription only but it was by license and Frances was of Milton.

Does the license still exist?

And there is another Thomas baptised in Gravesend, St George, July 1773,  son of Thomas. No mother named & no occupation

Page 59 (link below) is the baptism of George you posted. It does not mention Luckhurst.  It does say son of Thomas & Francis Harris. Nor does it mention Thomas’s occupation.

Burial of a Frances Harris age 66 of High St, Milton at Milton-next-Gravesend
Might be the mother of 1779 Thomas?

They are not two marriages.  The entry for the Diocese of Rochester on 9 August is the marriage allegation, the entry for Gravesend on 30 Aug is the parish register of marriages.

You can see that by looking up the film number in the FamilySearch catalogue.
