Hi Barbara
Thanks for looking
I am looking as we speak for Sarah's burial
No joy so far
Looked at national archives and found a couple of bits of where a Joseph Larkin of Beckley lived

Hi Barbara
Thanks
I have the Goudhurst children for George but not the Brenchley

I have family on my mother's side from Glassenbury part of Cranbrook so know it well!
I think it's almost certain that Joseph from Benenden is my Joseph as his death record it has his birth year as about 1739

I Will keep looking for his marriage!
I cannot find anything in the sussex marriage records in case they married in Beckley
Benenden has not come up either

Hi Barbara
Yes i do think thats the closest link so far
William Larkin - m - Frances Ballard 10th April 1732 Cranbrook
Children all born in Benenden -
George 1733
William 1735/36
Joseph 1738
Frances 1742

All we need is a marriage for Joseph ?
I think a bit of foot work is coming up

I think William Larkin b - 1706  was born in Goudhurst if the same his father George born in Marden?
Funny enough that takes me to my mothers family the Collins and Fevers from Marden

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)

Hi Barbara
Will send you my info over in a bit

I am doubtful about Sarah being Simmons but I have no other leads

Frances Larkin - baptism 23rd June 1765 in Beckley - Only has fathers name as Joseph
3 years before Joseph married Sarah Simmons - 1768
Cannot find confirmed marriage date between Joseph and Sarah
Maybe Sarah's name was not Simmons!
I have found a Sarah Simmons bap. 3rd February 1743 Northiam
I found a Frances Larkin married a James Stevens 9th May 1784 Beckley - also known as Fanny

My line is Joseph and Sarah's son Joseph Larkins b-1771 Beckley m- Elizabeth Coleman b-1768 Brede

confirming Joseph and Sarah's marriage would help but doesn't seem to be registered in Beckley

Thanks
Joseph and Sarah are my 6th great grand parents
I have all info back to Joseph!
Marriage to Sarah no date and then it's all a bit Hit and miss With his birth parents!
20 years ago when i started my ancestry quest Joseph was logged as being born in Swanscombe Kent
All records destroyed in floods
I think it could have been Swattenden Cranbrook!
Horsmonden has nipped in and out of my searches
