Kent Lookup Requests / Re: East Barming Kent Death/Burial BAKER Abigail 1836

Thanks for that Casalguidi,
Yes I'm afraid I also know about David (Parker) and the bastardy claim/baptism.
In fact, for someone who lived and died before official (Govt) records, began I know a surprising amount about Abigail Baker (Nee Springett), more so than some of my other ancestors who should be easy to find but just vanish!!
I am sure that the burial record is my Abigail too, but having ended on the wrong trail more than once, I would like to at least narrow the variables.
The marriage record doesn't have any family witnesses (or ages), so no joy there either.
I'm not entirely sure how the bastardy records work and whether Boughton Monchelsea is her home village or just where she made the claim but I think you're right and Boughton Monchelsea is the next port of call.
Many thanks
