Monks Horton parish records
« on: Monday 24 February 14 14:17 GMT (UK) »
I have just discovered an ancestor who married here in 1750, would the parish records show where the couple were from (what parish)?
I know they were Richard Banks and Alice Marsh, married 29th Jan 1750 (Richard is my 6G grandfather).
Finding out where they may have lived would help me narrow down their children

Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions anyone has!!

Parish records show they were married by licence and the brides residence was Folkestone. it may be worth your while trying to obtain a copy of the marriage licence to see if any more information is contained on it.

thanks panda40 - following that info I've searched and found a transcription of the marriage licence and, guess what - no further info!
mind you, as Folkestone was the birthplace of some of their descendants, it does mean I'm on the right track.

thank you once again

As far as if can locate most of the children were baptised at St Mary's and St Enswaythe church Folkestone. If no one beats me to it I will post the details later when I am on the PC and can copy the information over from the records.
What is the name of their child that you are descended from so I can cross reference I have the correct family?

Thank you for your kind offer, it's much appreciated.

Lawrence Banks, bapt. 7th Jan 1763 St Mary and Eanswith Folkstone. He later lived at Boys Hall and married 3 Sladen cousins, I am descended from his son Richard Banks, born in Liskeard, Cornwall funnily enough but descent confirmed by an obituary in The Law Times.

Thank you so much panda40 - that confirms what I have and adds quite a bit to it!
I have Lawrences' will but that only states he has 5 children by his last marriage and doesn't name them either which has made finding his children from his first marriage tricky - now it looks like you've done it so thank you once again.
