Searching for info on the family and parents of - Abigail Whibley born at Horsmonden in Kent. :D

According to an old family bible she was christened on -23/3/1755, and later married - John Sands in 1776  ::)

All help is appreciated as this is a puzzle!

Hi Luc

There is a baptism for Abigail WHIBLEY at Horsmonden 23 March 1755 on the IGI http://www.familysearch.org

To find possible siblings etc. you can restrict the IGI search to Hormonden by entering the batch number and/or names of parents.

Have you any idea where any of her children were born or places later mentioned in the family bible to give some idea of where she possibly married John SANDS?

Hello Casalguidi,

Thanks for suggesting the igi info I had tried this in the past  and came up with other children of David and mary Whibley  all born at Horsmonden in Kent, but, and there are some but's, -

1) the birth date entry in the bible is by another hand and in pencil unlike all the others of the time !

2) the marriage info gives the following - marriage between Abigail Whibley and John Sands on 23 JUL 1776 at  Ightham, Kent (this is confirmed in the igi) but nether the bible nor the igi gives her parents or date of birth !

So it leaves me high and dry ! I tried rootsweb/ancestry forum and got no trace of abigail fro the other Whibley researchers. :-\

Any ideas?   ::)

Regards and thanks from - Luc.  :)
