Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Chevening Parish lookup - Boakes
« on: Monday 07 November 22 11:29 GMT (UK)  »
The Boakes are my wife's maternal line, her family came from Sevenoaks Weald. The two couples caused confusion to start with, but we think the wood dealer was Thomas b.1784 Chiddingstone who married Sarah Leigh and lived at Ide Hill.

Sarah Oliver died 1851 and was buried in Sevenoaks 27/4/1851.

In the census entries, Thomas is consistently shown as born c.1792 Chevening but we have been unable to verify this. He married Sarah Oliver in Tonbridge which has led my wife to believe that he may now be the son of John Boakes and Sarah Couchman b.1792 in Chiddingstone.
Unfortunately we don't have any DNA results.

Kent Lookup Requests / Tonbridge Marriage Lookup 1814
« on: Saturday 25 December 21 09:55 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for information on the marriage of Thomas Boakes and Sarah Oliver on 25/10/1814.
In particular I'm trying to find out if the marriage was by banns or by license, the ages of the bride and groom and any witnesses present.
 Ancestry give the marriage date and Tonbridge as the venue but no other details.

Many thanks
Bones

Thanks for the quick replies.
I'm trying to find the parents of Thomas Boakes who married Sarah Oliver 1814 in Tonbridge. In 1841 and 1851 Sarah is living with her son Thomas in Weald. Thomas snr is living with other children in Godden Green in 1841 and Sevenoaks in 1851. On the 1851 and 1861 Census it says that he was born in Chevening c.1796, but there is another Thomas Boakes living in Ash also born 1796 Chevening. In 1841 Thomas and Susannah are also living in Ash, and this has cast doubt on them being the right parents.

Hi Lambie,

Many thanks for the reply, I had almost given up hope with Mary. She was also my Gt Gt Gt Grandmother, her daughter Jane married George Tattle 2/9/1878 in Marylebone, London. Do you have any more info on the Setch family ?
