Which Wenborne sister did John Kestford marry
« on: Wednesday 17 May 17 15:36 BST (UK) »
In John Wenburn of Sedlescombe's Will dated 18 Sep 1732 he mentions his surviving children who have all married.

He mentions his Son in Law John Kestford.  The only available daughter of which I am aware is Sarah bap 1696. 

However I am unable to locate the marriage and assistance gratefully received.

It wasn't one of his daughters.  It looks like he married Elizabeth Kesford 16 Feb 1709/10 at Sedlescombe.  I can only think that she was a widow (although there is no indication in the index of this). The son-in-law is Elizabeth's son, but not his.  John married his mother and therefore was considered as his father.

Thanks so much LittleNell and Trish.

In John Wenburn's will he notes he has only one son.  This fact coupled with his mention of son-in-law's was what threw me. I assumed to be his son-in-law meant they married one of John's daughters [which is certainly true but it denies the other possible relationships].  Gosh assumptions can be problematic.

I am unable to locate John Wenborn's second wife Elizabeth's maiden name and would appreciate some assistance.

I'm also not confident the child John baptised 7 October 1694, Sedlescombe, to STEPHEN/ELIZABETH is the correct son or father.  Elizabeth the wife of Stephen was buried 30 Dec 1731.  This Elizabeth could have been  the second wife of Stephen as there was a marriage between Stephen & Elizabeth Bodge occurred 28 Mar 1714

Elizabeth the second wife of John Wenburn was buried 05 May 1725.

Fair enough West that John may not be the right one.
Remember in those days son in law often meant stepson.
