Henry Edwards Inkley

[pops1]

Husband just got a shock when l let out a big scream..You have found Sarah and she was married twice .The information on Family search says that Sarah's name was Marsden no wonder l couldn't  find anything .
Oh gosh fancy getting so excited about a family tree but l have been trying for ages to break the Sarah saga and now you have done it .Well done and thankyou now l can delve further.

[pops1]

Just need to get this down so see if it looks ok
Jemima Mantle & Stephan Moorlen marry 10/10/ 1777
Sarah born 1786
Sarah Moorlen marries John Inkley in 1803
I found another Sarah born to John Inkley & Sarah  bpt 23/10/1803 at Otham only just found this Sarah ,have to check this out more thoroughly
John Inkley dies 1815
Sarah has Emily 17/10/1819,Robert 10/11/1822,Keziah10/11/1827
Sarah marries William Edwards 12/02/1831
Henry Edwards Inkley was born 20/03/1831
My thoughts are these…..Unless l can find any more on that stray Sarah born in 1803 …Sarah’s husband John died in 1815  ,Sarah had her first 3 children out of wedlock but since she is a widow she still called herself Inkley hence the originally information that l had that her four children were baptized as illegitimate and kept their mothers name when they were baptised ,she is pregnant when she marries William Edwards maybe it isn’t her husband’s child which could be why Henry carried the Inkley name instead of Edwards.
Can you please tell me how this information looks so far ,have l got it nearly right do you think.

 Gosh its hard to fathom,but my reckoning is about the same as yours
 Are we overlooking something though?
 Sarah 1803 is the daughter of John Inkley and Sarah Moorlen ,who
 married the same year.
 It,s Sarah,s [1803]father John Inkley that died in 1815
 As you say, Sarah then has 3 children out of wedlock.
 Maybe they are all William Edwards children??
 Perhaps registered Henry under Edwards, but went by the Inkley name
 so as to be the same as other kids.
 Maybe I am  tired and not thinking straight, but why do we think
 Sarah married twice ?
 As they say 'Two heads are better than one" 
 We might just work it out yet.
 Bye

Its great fun doing this isn't it but l find it totally consuming all l seem to be thinking about is the Inkley family and where everybody fits.
Question 1...who is the other Sarah born in 1786? ,she actually fits into the census age wise at the 1851 census a lot better than the Sarah born in 1803.It says Sarah was 62 in 1851 ,in 1841 she was 52 which is consistent and having Henry and Kisia still living with her and her husband in the census proves we have the right Sarah just which one?.
I think we have to establish Sarah's birth date before we move forward.
I would also like to find out if Sarah is registered at the Hollingbourne workhouse before her death (which l still have to find) not sure how l go about this l can find lists of inmates for the 1841 and 1851 census but can't find any other list anywhere l am sure they must exist .

 I am exactly the same .  All I seem to have running through my thoughts is
"Sarah"
 I think I got it wrong last post. I was really tired.
 Another try...Sarah Moorlen [17/3/ 1786 ] marries John Inkley on 23/7/1803
 in Maidstone Kent.  She would have been 17 years old
 They  have a daughter Sarah born 23 /10/1803 [LDS]
 John Inkley dies 1815
 Sarah has 3 more children, starting with Emily 1819
 She then marries William Edwards 1831
 I believe you have to be a bit sceptical with LDS regarding ages.
 Question..   Who is the father of  Emily,Kisia,and maybe Henry ?

 Does all this mean that we are not really descendent from Inkley at all?
 Because Sarah Moorlen only became Inkley when she married John
 He died 1815 ,so other children were all somebody else,s.   Who??
 I think we will have to do some more searching
 I am pleased you are also doing it,because it is easy to become confused
 The name Sarah is going to haunt me.

Just had another look at this old paper
 It says...    Henry Edwards  bap: 20 March 1831 agricultural labourer
                  no death recorded up to 1921
                  described at both marriages as the son of William Edwards

I have a feeling you have my researchers paper,l think l might have sent it to you

I feel the same way my ancestor Henry Edwards Inkley is probably not William Edwards son but the name Edwards goes right through the family puzzling.
LDS makes me mad sometimes l hate the way people seem to put down what they think instead of facts.Spent years looking for a Sarah Marsden instead of Sarah Moorlen instead of asking like you did l relied on LDS and the information was wrong ,makes me think the person who saw Marsden should have had their glasses on, its close but not close enough.
Just hit me we really aren't Inkley's at all but at least we know we are Moorlen's.LOL I have a horrible feeling that we will never know who the mystery father was of Sarah's children.The researcher who did our family tree said Sarah was a pauper and had 4 children all baptised illegitimate and was residing in Hollingbourne but it stops there and no mention about her death or anything like that  so l am guessing her final resting place was Hollingbourne Workshouse that's my next project do you think l can ask Kent Request Lookup about that?
Guess what my daughters name is ?...Sarah so l am never ever going to forget Our Sarah

This has certainly sent us all a buzz.... As you say I think I got the Marsden info off LDS too....
Why is Henry Edwards who was baptised in 1831 listed as an agricultural labourer?
