My thanks for the replies. Cityark did not give me anything; maybe I did not search properly. I must try again.
What I have is somewhat uncertain. Four daughters were certainly born to George BILLS and Ann DAY :
Mary, bapt 30 10 1825 in Bexley,
Ann, bapt 01 06 1828 in Horton Kirkby,
Jane, bapt 13 05 1833 in Darenth,
Emma, bapt, 16 08 1835 in Sutton at Hone.
The parents : George BILLS bapt 18 04 1802 in Lenham,
married Ann DAY 10 01 1825 in Bexley.
I do know that George was the son of William and Ann.
I am trying to find which William. There is a William BILLS, bapt in Wormshill 11 03 1770, son of William and Ann , who died in Egerton in 1852. Married to Ann (possibly Ann SIMMS 09 07 1793 in Ulcombe).
But there is also a William BILLS, bapt 26 12 1777 in Headcorn, son of William and Ann WHIMSET. Am I barking at the wrong tree?
Lenham seems to be the pivot in this tree.
Thank you Betty, I have found the marriage in 1773, and the bapt of William in 1777, Elizabeth in 1779, Thomas in 1781 and James in 1782. Are Mary, 1793 in Charing, Ann, 1794 in Headcorn and John 1797 in Egerton, also the children of Ann WHIMSET ?
Thank you, bearkat, for sending me to the Mid Kent marriage index; I found several interesting leads.
Any suggestions ? Thanks.
