Help with Ann Best please b.c.1745?
« on: Tuesday 29 March 16 16:29 BST (UK) »
I have Ann Best b.c.1745 Crockenhill.
She married James Strudwick 24 March 1768 in Eynsford.
They had a daughter Mercy b.c.1769.  I've tried to research the daughter and some results state her name as Mercy and some as Mary.
I can't figure out if it's the same person or if Mercy and Mary are sisters?
On her marriage certificate she is Mercy married to William Dunmall.
Anyway I'm also after Ann's parents, they may be John Best and Elizabeth.
I'd be grateful for any help with this.

Looking at available data I would assume Mercy was Mary who adopted Mercy as her name.
 The only Ann Best I could see in Kent at the right birth time frame was Baptised 09 Mar 1739 at Snodland Daughter of William and Mary.
What makes you think Crockenhill as POB
WAGHORN/E
KENWARD
HARRIS
DIXON
MARSHALL
MERCER
CARE
FAGG
RUSSELL
WOODRUFF      

 All these  Families were Born and Bred in Kent

BURIAL;
4 Oct 1818, St Martin, Eynsford
ANN Strudwick age 74 (1744) abode Crockenhill

You probaably have that.

2 other Bests married Eynsford around the same time as Ann;
JANE Best to Wm GLOVER 16 Nov 1765
JOHN Best to Ann TURNER 31 Dec 1774

JOHN/SARAH Best Baptised same Church;
SARAH 15 Oct 1732
MARY, 10 Oct 1736
ELIZABETH, 11 Oct 1741
JANE, 19 July 1747
JOHN, 6 May 1750

Plenty of room for Ann to fit in but she doesnt appear to have been Baptised Eynsford to John/Sarah
There is a ANN Best 1742 High Halstow to JOSEPH/SUSAN
