I'm having another crack at an old brick wall - trying to find the parents of Ann WICKEN, born c1788 in Sundridge according to census returns, married 1816 to Josiah ROBERTS in Brasted and died 1867 in the workhouse in Sundridge.
Given her age at marriage, she may have been a widow. She may possibly be the sister or close relative of John Wicken, born around 1800 and buried in Sundridge in 1875.
As the marriage record is the only rendering of her maiden name that I've found, she could possibly have been a Wickenden (a more common name in the area) or a Wicking/Wickens etc. Her birthplace could equally have been a neighbouring parish - Westerham - Chevening etc.
I know all about her family coming down the line from her marriage to Josiah, it's going back up that's proved impossible so far.
Thanks for any help offered!

I want to browse the online electorcal records covering Frimley Street in Mile End, immediately post-WW1. Knowing which voting ward the street was in would make the search much simpler. Does anyone have the answer at their fingertips?
Many thanks for any help given,

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,

Does anyone have any information on the marriage of Augustus ALEXANDER and Sarah KENNARD in Southampton RD in the June quarter of 1882. I believe (but cannot be 100 per cent sure) that the marriage was in St Mary's. I am hoping to confirm Sarah's identity as a daughter of Edward Kennard. Subsequent to the record of their marriage, I have been unable to find any positive trace of either bride or groom. One year earlier, Sarah was an inmate of the Holy Rood workhouse, with a young illegitimate daughter. The daughter, Mary Jane Kennard, later went on to live with her Kennard grandparents in West Ham and later married Joseph Mills.

Thanks to any Rootschatters who can help,
