hi tony
thanks so much for this, i just wanted the clarification on mary underdownes father, as i said could nt find any parish reg with her birth on just this "millennium file" on ancestry, then i found that wolfe fam tree thing on internet- the link above saying vincent was her dad so put it in, but then i found that book
but now i ve found an excerpt from a book called dane court st peters, a kentish manor and its families, by peter j hills, i think written in 1977, here is an excerpt from it
stephen tomlins eldest son of john 1600 to 1651 of northdown and updown married mary underdowne, daughter of john underdowne of st laurence, by whom he had 6 sons and 5 daughters, all this fits in with my tree other than the fact that it says mary underdowne s father is called john not vincent
so that threw me to wondering whether that book had better knowledge than the wolfe fam tree and the file on ancestry
i know phillis married to vincent was married to a richard harry for 2 years before, she was born phillis estice, i have both marriages on parish records all at at laurence, but i have no birth for her
john tomlins parents were both well dead by the time he married and his mothers maiden name was sackett but i dont have any siblings for her
i have this from that hills book again
1588 • St Peter, Kent, England
Marriage "Stephen Tomlin of St Johns (C.1605). Mary,Dau. of John Sackett of Sacketts Hill." Source - "Dane Court. St Peter's-in-Thanet by Peter J Hills"
got to go to work now, thanks again, catie
