Hi Barbara
Sorry about that i was working
Same as Ciderman has given - baptisms of Joseph and Sarah's children
My original info 22 years ago for Joseph was born 1743 Swanscombe Kent (Dartford) was from family search (latter days saints) but very vague as was most info back then.
All records were damaged or destroyed in a flood!
since then that info has been removed!
After a fair bit of searching for Joseph Larkin born Swanscombe i had nothing
I think a couple trees put his parents as Thomas Larkin and Elizabeth Heyward but as you know there Joseph had died shortly after birth, but as usual others copied onto their trees without checking!
I then thought that maybe Swattenden in Cranbrook sounding similar to Swanscombe may be a link
but still a dead end!
As for Sarah Simmons that name also appeared in trees on ancestry with no source at all??
With no confirmed birth or baptism date for Joseph, with only having Sarah with no birth surname or a marriage date/ record for Joseph and Sarah i have hit a bit of a brick wall
I think finding his marriage would be a start at least that would give Sarah's name
There is a George of similar age born in Cranbrook to John Larkin and Elizabeth Morgan
i think it may be the same George who also lived in Beckley with his wife Mary?
I do have pretty much most info on my direct line up to Joseph
A lot to think about but maybe you could clear a couple of bits up
I have just finished the basics on my 5th GGP Joseph Larkins b 1771 and Elizabeth Coleman
and the Inmans (yacht builders)
