My Kent Surname Interests

[Mike Baldock]

I have a Margaret Newton marrying a John Sankey - both near Canterbury in the late 1600's...

I have the same two people in my tree Mike, I don't know where they got married but they had 7 children.

[Mike Baldock]

hmmm, I have 8 children for John but I don't think they were all Margaret's - I have her dob as c1663, and the youngest John Sankey child I have is Mary Sankey - born 1675, plus an undated Elizabeth?

But I'm also not sure that John had any earlier wife?

Margaret was supposedly the wife of the farmer where John worked, and he married her when the farmer died - which would seem to make Margaret the one with an earlier marriage!

I have Margaret Newton's birth as c1663 as well. Regarding the children, I have Matthew as the youngest born in 1704, while the Mary the eldest born in 1675. I have Elizabeth born in c1681.

That is very interesting to know about John and Margaret's marriage as I did not know this. Do you know where or even when they married as I am missing this.

I have John Sankey born in Ireland and possibly the son (or cousin) of Sir Hierom Sankey, M.P. of Cork.

I do know that he was a well to do farmer from Polderhurst Court near Canterbury.

Are you on Ancestry? Most of my info is all reffed on there - I'm not sure what I can actually mention here, but I have a couple of interesting links about the Sankeys,

Or you can email me ************   and I can send them over :-)

I have just discovered John Sankey in my family tree (a 6gfather) who married Grace Sutton. I have some information about his grandfather (John senior from Ireland) and his children, but I cannot yet establish which of his sons was the father of my John.

Can anyone help please?

Also looking for BEAK(E) in Kent.
