Re Bridgers Lamberhurst.
My wife was a Bridger, her family has been traced back to Goudhurst. A brother Richard Bridger bn 1716 Goudhurst married Mary Baldwin in Lamberhurst 1739. He died Lamberhurst 1792.

Hi Auk.
Thanks for that,maybe a connection to my Bridger Marsh!I know he was not born in Lamberhurst, parish records have been checked.He married Hannah Giles there in 1760.She was born in Pembury in 1740.
Do you have any of your family marrying a Marsh or anyone called Avis in your tree?

Hi Jean,
My earliest Bridger is a Jacob his wife was Mary ?, they were the parents of John chrst in 1656. John married Margaret Reynolds in 1677. They had eight children, John, Edward,Thomas,Richard,Francis, James and Elizabeth.
John married Elizabeth Pauke, they had nine children, one of whom was the Richard I mentioned yesterday. I do not have any Avis, or Marsh mentioned,but I have only followed the direct line, apart from the Richard in Lamberhurst.
Does any of the above tie in with you.
Regards,
Auk

Hi Auk.
Thanks for that but look like no really connection to my Bridger Marsh who is a real brickwall in mine and many other trees.
I aways thought there was a connection to a Marsh family from Edburton Sussex where I found an Ann Bridger married a John Marsh and they did have a son called Bridger but he was born in 1706 too early to be my Bridger.
Well I will have to keep looking!
Thanks again Jean.

Hello all, found that my ancestor Thomas Marsh 6/2/1763 Lamberhurst Kent he married a Mary Woollett 7/11/1785 Marden Kent, his parents are Bridger Marsh and Hannah Giles they married 28/9/1760 by banns. There is a Descendants of Bridger Marsh on the Web starting from him and going onwards. Some of these entries on Ancestry really don't connect with my searches however. :-[
Regards,
Janet :-[

Hi Jan.
We are family!
My direct line is from Thomas Marsh and Mary Woollet.
Thomas was the son of Bridger and Hannah Marsh nee Giles.
I have lots on the Giles family but not found Bridger’s parents but I think there is a connection to a Marsh family from Edburton Sussex.
Edward son of Thomas and Mary is my direct line....what is yours?
I hope if you tell me more I could help.
Regards Jean Harris nee Marsh.

Evening Jean (my mothers name) great to receive your message, I only searched this family today, I am trying to finish and close them. I have been searching for over 20 years and (3 computers) and still going, I have been in contact with so many great people, my line is 90 percent English and Irish at the bottom. I am also connected with the late actress Olivia De Haviland. I think my Edward is different as I am connected to Sgt. Edward Marsh who was in the Defense forces in India his son James Marsh came to Australia and settled and married a Charlotte Dewberry. My Edward was born.or baptized on the 4/10/1795 he came from Marsden Kent he married in Bangalore India in 1822 and died 23/6/1831 Poonamallee India. I have all his records and baptisms, connecting baptisms is sometimes the hardest to find :-[ I need to correct this I maybe wrong, I know a few posting on Ancestry are wrong. keep in touch, time for dinner. :-[
Regards,
Janet :-\
