William HOMDEN c1856
« on: Monday 18 October 10 12:05 BST (UK) »
Can anyone please help me find the birth details for William Homden/Omden/Holmden etc etc c1856.

He appears age 5 on the 1861C living with his parents William & Kezia in Ash.  His birthplace was given as Meopham. In 1871 the family are living in Wrotham & Williams birthplace is given as Ash.

His parents married in 1855 in Ash & most of their children were born there - I have found the entries for most of their children in the parish registers on the Medway Cityark site.  Unfortunately I cannot find William - have tried Meopham, Ash & Ridley.  I have tried FreeBMD & LDS without success & my crystal ball is starting to crack up under the strain.

He went on to marry Emma Hills in 1880 & have at least 8 children - I am beginning to think his parents didn't register the birth of their first son.

Thank you Nanny Jan

I somehow suspect that it is the right one - all of the Ash parish register entries are 'Omden' rather than Homden so I can see how easily 'Homding' might be another interpretation for someone not in the know.

A 'Homdinger'  of a response. 
Thank you again
