Congrats Shane
Looks like Hester/Esther will only be found unmarried in 1861 Census.

She appears to be Reg. as Esther KIRBY, March 1852, Blean, 2a 509

And married as Hester KIRBY, December 1870, Thanet, 2a 1320

Hi Shane

http://extranet3.kent.gov.uk/sp/rois/marriagesearch.cfm is good for double checking post 1837 marriages in this area of Kent.  If you enter Jessie and the two prospective husbands separately you will find that only one of them will have the exact same reference as Jessie - George

It looks as though he may have died and Jessie remarried in 1907

Think this is her, reg district of area is Blean.

1861 Census
RG9/522/117/26
18 Ruttington Lane
St Gregorys, Canterbury, Kent

William KIRBY, 46, head, mar, weaver, Whistable, Kent
Ester, 38, wife, mar, char woman, Chislet, Kent
Elizabeth, 15, daug, dressmaker
Albert, 13,
Stephen, 11
ESTER, 9
Sarah, 7
Edward, 5
John, 3
Thomas, 8mths       All children born Canterbury, Kent


1851 Census William and Ester are married, still at same address, but there are other children that must have left home by 1861 Census.
It is possible going by their age that Ester is a second wife for William. This will not affect your line though.

1851 Census
HO107/1625/57/17
18 New Ruttington Lane
St Gregory, Canterbury, Kent

William KIRBY, 38, head, mar,
Ester, 28, wife, hawker of fish, Chislet
William, 14, son, unm, hawker of fish, Walmer, Kent
Richard, 10, son, Canterbury
Mary Ann, 7, daug, Canterbury
+ Elizabeth 4, Albert 6, Stephen 1.

So in 1841 need to look in Walmer maybe and possibly with another wife

Thank you Betty

Do you have access to an earlier possible marriage for William, probably just before William jnr  abt 1837 is born?

Hi Trish

Afraid not, the only other marriage in Canterbury for a William KIRBY was in 1752.
