Still family Cowden

[ryeone]

A couple called Thomas Still and Sarah (nee Gainsford) had children in Cowden from 1782 onwards but married there in 1773. According to some family trees published on a couple of different subscription sites my ancestor Harriet Still born in the mid 1770s was also a child of theirs (spelt Harriot usually), even though her baptism does not show up on Cowden Igi searches. Neither does the births of several other Still children attributed to this couple before 1782-William , Elizabeth and Sophia. Does anyone know of any definate reason rather than just maybe a guess for these attributations? My Harriet did marry in Cowden.

Could they be the ones listed on the IGI as HILL thus possible mistranscriptions

It may be a case of having a look at the originals to check.

Hi Pam

Many thanks for replying.

It appears that my family converges with the Still when Mary Still marries Richard Shoebridge in 1630 in Cowden. I am therefore keen to learn about the Stills as I understand they are an old Kent family.

Hi Pam

Sorry to be a nuisance but I nearly forgot about your kind response to my enquiry re the Still family and wondered if you are still happy to share it?

I am looking forward to learning so much more about the family and my heritage.

Regards and best wishes

Nick

Hi

New to RootsChat so unsure if I have done this correctly.  I have traced my family back to John Still, Styll or Stile 1388 in Cowden - he was possibly the father of Thomas Still (Stillwell) born 1408 who is a director ancestor back 18 generations on my Father's side.  Do you have any family information you would be happy to share please.  Kind regards Jo
