looking at marriage dates and children's birthdates I'm wondering if there are two Robert Kettles in Ashford ?

Robert Marries Mary on 26 Oct 1790 Maidstone , then Ann  4 Nov 1793 Ashford

 but  - Charlotte is born 12 Jan 1817, Ashford  Daughter of Robert(Publican) and Mary ?

There is a will for Robert KETTLE, victualler of Ashford

http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D109727

It should also be available on Ancestry.

An internet search for Robet Kettle victualler Ashford also throws up some results of interest.

have now seen the will thanks - Robert leaves his estate to Wife Ann and Daughter Ann- married to Richard Turnbridge

Charlotte - Daughter of Robert and Mary remains a mystery ?

[Tommo50]

1851 census has Charlotte - sister in law of Lewis Reeve, living with the family as house-keeper - rules out the 2 Roberts theory . Who is her mother  ?

[Tommo50]

 but  - Charlotte is born 12 Jan 1817, Ashford  Daughter of Robert(Publican) and Mary ?


still searching for Mary  ? -  Charlotte was Baptised  at St Mary's Ashford

FreeREG has a baptism for Mary daughter of Robert & Ann KETTLE 5th January 1800 at Ashford, St Mary.
