Dryland family of Hinxhill, Kent

[grouse]

If you need any info or photos of Hinxhill and Goose Green where the family lived I live a few yards from there and would only be too happy to help.
I see from the 1841 census that Wm and Sarah are living with Edward Dryland. I think this is the same Edward that died in 1848 and is buried with his wife Phoebe in Hinxhill and there is a gravestone for which I have an image and a transcription of the inscription if you'd like that too

[Loupy]

Wow, so much info - thank you all so much.  It certainly helps with having so many people out there willing and able to help.

Ann Dryland m William Fedarb 1851 Canterbury - I did wonder if I had the birth wrong - thank you for correcting me, appreciated

Sarah Dryland m William Thornby 12 Oct 1850 St Mary, Hinxhill

Frances Dryland did she marry a Charles Dunkin as I have searched everywhere for a marriage but cannot find it.  There are some census though with ? her and Charles    There is a marriage on FBDM of a Frances but not to a Charles Dunkin!   

Margaret Dryland - thank you for the offer of looking it up.  I will await to hear, Stevie

Kate Dryland m Thomas Thornby 20 oct 1869 St Mary, Hinxhill

George Smith Dryland m Mary Ann Hills 18 Nov 1868 St Mary, Hinxhill

Which just leaves me Harriet Dryland and William Dryland to then sort out.

Grouse - a photo would be lovely to put on my database - many thanks

Once again, many thanks

No problem Loupy
I thought it weird that no wedding followed the banns but just realise the marriage transcriptions didn't cover that timeframe. I'll look the actual records at the library next time I go down there and have a hunt around for mention of any other family members whilst there

[grouse]

In 1861 Ancestry have a Margaret Petcher of Hinxhill, 25, Visitor to William Thornby in Wye with kids, William A, 1, and Sarah A (looks like 4 mths) born in Folkestone

However FindmyPast reckon it's Harriet Pitcher, Sister, 28

Piece 516 Folio 33, Pg 13 Hse 61

If you're looking at the image on Ancestry, good luck! But FindMyPast's isn't much better.



I think it's Margaret Pilcher, visitor. The 'M' of married in the status column further up the page matches the 'M' in Margaret.
There is a marriage for Margaret Dryland to a Wm Pilcher in 1858.

[grouse]

... which puts her possibly as a servant to Thomas Philpott in Canterbury in 1851

which then puts the marriage in Canterbury 1851 Q4 5 159 in the frame

Find my Past say that is to William Fedarb and while Ann Fedarb is transcribed as born Canterbury in 1861 is shown as Hinxhill in 1871

Might just be a coincidence but a Rev Philpott was vicar at Hinxhill when the Drylands lived there. There might be a possibility that he was related to Thomas Philpott of Canterbury and helped Ann get her position with him

Thanks Grouse - got your emails and photos and have responded.

Once again, many thanks all.
