There's a few people with the surname WEEKS in Benenden, but a lot more with the surname WEEKES, but could be the same family!

How about this one -
Baptism  9th April 1815
William WEEKES 
Parents Edmond & Ann
I can't see a Baptism for Edmond/Edmund abt 1785, only 1809 & 1829

This looks like Edmond & Ann's Marriage, in Benenden.

2nd Dec 1804  By Banns
Edmond WEEKS Ba otp
Ann PARKER  Sp otp
Witnesses:  Tho Weekes   Tho Pellatt

There's another? marriage for Edmund to Elizabeth Bishop in 1828
Details if you want them.

I'll have a look for Packhams now.

No luck with PACKHAM Baptisms in Benenden.
There's  a Martha, John & Elysabeth PACKAM, a Mary PACKHAM, all 1600s
& a Harry PACKHAM 1905

I've got Packhams in my tree, & I notice from the Edmund & Elizabeth marriage one of the witnesses had the surname Milgate, which is also in my tree

There's a Burial in Benenden -
Edmund WEEKS 20th April 1817  age 27y
so it looks as if there were two men with the name Edmund/Edmond Weeks/es

I've looked at Hawkhurst, no PACKHAMs there, but plenty of WEEKS!

The name PACKHAM is very common in Wittersham, which isn't far from Hawkhurst.

I can't see a Baptism for Edmund/Edmond or Ann in Benenden.

However, there's an Ann Parker baptised in Hawkhurst,
10th March 1782, daughter of Thomas & Eleanor.
Three other children are shown for this couple, Hannah, Eleanor & Thomas.
Do these names ring any bells? It's not an uncommon name, so this one could just be a coincidence
