Kent / Henrie Pattenden 1542 East Peckham,Kent
« on: Saturday 29 March 14 16:11 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help me with this one?My 10th Great Grandfather was Henrie Pattenden 1542-1593,born and died in East Peckham,Kent.I am unable to find details to confirm his parentage.On several matching sites on Ancestry his parents are named as Richard (de)Clifford and Ann Stafford,but others fail to name his parents.As the surname differs,could it be that perhaps he was born the wrong side of the blanket or could it be some kind of honorary name bestowed upon him? Other children born to the parents named above bear the surname "de Clifford",and there is even a Henry Clifford born of the same parents in 1537,but he has a different spouse(Anne Devereux),whereas my Henrie married 4 times (!) Annis Kenworth in 1572,(2) Margaret Stanford in 1573,(3)Elnor Sutor in 1582 and Faythe Cotchman in 1591.If anyone could solve this mystery I would be so very grateful.
