It's time to offer up a brick wall to Roots Chat colleagues: my direct ancestors George ROBERTS (born c 1762, died 1835) and Mary CACKETT (birth and death unknown) were married in Westerham parish church on 20 March 1785.

I have details of their six children, all baptised in Westerham between 1786 and 1805

What I have been unable to trace is their earlier ancestry, which is likely to have been in Westerham or the neighbouring parishes - possibly including those just the other side of the Surrey border.

Likewise I am seeking any details about the parentage of Ann WICKEN, who married George and Mary Roberts' son Josiah at Brasted church on 13 March 1816. Ann died in 1867 and on census returns gave her place of birth as Sundridge, but I have found no record of her, nor in Edenbridge, where several Wicken records exist.

I would be very grateful for any information that people might be able to share - this has been a dead branch on my tree for some years now.

With thanks for any help provided,
Waterhouse

Thank you very much SG, there are some excellent fits there and plenty of useful extra information.

Your prompt help's much appreciated,

Thanks so much Kyrenia, those details confirm that this is the woman I am interested in. Just a quick delve into Augsutus Alexander's status suggests he may be from Jamaica, which may account for the couple's disappearance from UK records after their wedding.

Once again your kind and thorough help is very much appreciated.

Thanks Annette7, I am up to speed with the same details as you, the missing birth records are due to some wild variations on the spelling of Kennard over the years. As mentioned above, no trace of Augustus or Sarah after the marriage registration.
Thanks for your help

Sincere thanks to both responders, my query has been answered.
