Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Davice surname - Hawkhurst

Thank you for checking that Colin. Perhaps he moved to Kent and adopted the local variant or it was just how it was heard like you said. Much appreciated!

Kent Lookup Requests / Davice surname - Hawkhurst
« on: Friday 10 September 21 10:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi!
I'm trying to track my 6x great grandfather and I came across something a bit interesting. My 5x great grandfather James Davis was baptised at Hawkhurst St Laurence in 1781. His parents were named as Richard and Mary Davis. The only marriage I can find of a Richard/Mary in Hawkhurst and surrounds is in 1860 but the catch is Richard's surname is listed as 'Davice'. It would be great to know your thoughts on this as I haven't come across this surname before and I can't find any other traces of him. Is it a variant of Davis that he then changed or likely to be no relation? Thank you all! :)
