Trying to get correct spelling for wife "Hon...... Sharp" married Maidstone 24 Dec 1853. Census records show different spellings. Marriage Registration Vol 2a/704
Also correct date of birth for both as I have 3 of these from census records
Thanks   Ian

would appear to be HONOUR - from Staplehurst Parish Register transcription ..

Hi Ian

The baptism registers for Marden (does Edward always give this as his place of birth in the census?) are indexed online but you do have to email for the full details  http://www.mardenhistory.org.uk/2lev_archives.htm

I thought it was Mrs W he needed - 'HONOUR', whose details are in the Staplehurst Registers (link above) ?

Thanks for info ... will do more looking for other WATERMAN on the www provided.

Still trying to obtain correct birth dates for both.   

Thanks   Ian

Hi Ian

Civil registration ie. birth certificates didn't begin until July 1837 so it will be baptisms (as in the links provided) prior to that date

Thanks for that .... Ian

hopefully not too far off actual birth date .... altho there are instances where a christening was years later !

Good to find sites like that - quite a dedicated person to do all that transcribing.
