Just wondered if anybody had this man in their tree, I have him born c1796 in Rochford, Essex and married to a Sarah. His parents were, I believe, John Kemp and Susanna but other than that I cannot find out anything about him. Thanks ;D

If you don't have him in the 1841 Census he is living in Strood Green, Rochford with Sarah and children Thomas 16, William 14, Charlotte 10 and Mary 7
HO107/337/17/f42/p5
In 1851 Sarah is still living in the same place but is now a widow
HO107/1777/F382/p35
There is a death reg for a Joseph Kemp
June 1842 Rochford vol 12 p 150 aged 49 which gives a yob as 1793 which is reasonably close to 1796.

Thank you so much, this name Tawke keeps popping up and there are some very interesting accounts with that name but cannot tie them in. I am very grateful for the help you have given.

Dr. Williams Library registered a number of the children 30 June 1820, giving the father as John Kemp and mother as Susanna Stonard daughter of James and Susanna Stonard.
John Abbot
Mary Ann
Susanna (1800)
Rachel Adams
Frederick
Emma
George Tawke
PLUS one I didn't find in the other register
EDWIN born 19 April 1804
Since they had 2 children named Joseph 1796 and 1808 the original Joseph you asked about had died before 1808.
Susanna 1795 has died before 1800.
The second Joseph 1808 and Alfred 1807 are also missing from Dr. Williams list so are no doubt
already deceased by 30 June 1820.
****So if your ancestor is Joseph Tawke Kemp married Sarah then I think you need to find a brother of John who gave his children the same names.

Possible lines to search.
John Durrival Kemp died 1810 his will written 27 February 1810 proved 26 July 1810, he was of Little Stambridge.
To be interred at Prittlewell next to his late mother Martha Kemp.
Wife Mary
sons John, Robert, Henry.
daughters Eliza, Louisa, Mira wife of John (Hardwick)? and Mary wife of Samuel Richardson of Reading.
The John Kemp of previous posts may be the son of this John Kemp, which gives you brother Henry and Robert to follow.

This Sarah was born in Prittlewell so looking at Prittlewell marriages
Joseph Kemp of Cranham in this county married Sarah Lacell otp at P'well on 15 Jun 1817 by licence with consent of her mother. Both made their mark. witnesses: John Gadward and W Heard.
There is a baptism in Barling (where son John was born) for a Susan illeg dau of Sarah Lacell servant on 13 Feb 1816 and also bapt of Eliza d/o Joseph and Sarah Kemp 25 Oct 1818 and John bapt 3 Dec 1820 s/ Joseph and Sarah Kemp and Thomas bapt 16 jun 1822 s/o Joseph and Sarah Kemp.
-
Sarah's year of birth is abt 1791 from 1851 census. The nearest baptism I can find in Prittlewell is:
"Sarah daughter of John and Sarah Lacell was born April 6th 1788, privately baptised and registered April 24th 1788 by J Archer Curate. This child was fully baptised January 5th 1789."

He had a lot more brothers and sisters.

Joseph 1796 in previous post
Mary Ann 1798 previous post
Susanna Kemp born 12 January 1800 bap 17 February 1800

George Tawke Kemp born 17 March 1810 bap 5 July 1810
Burial Great Stambridge
Joseph son of John and Susannah Kemp on 29 August 1805. Looks like the one bapt as Joseph Tawke Kemp
Second Joseph s/o John and Susanna Kemp buried at GS on 8 June 1809.
So neither can be husband of Sarah Lacell and appear on 1841 census.
