I've just started on my SPAIN line, & this thread comes up first on Google

I've got as far back as Thomas Spain, born abt 1791 in Canterbury, Kent. He married Mary Ann (IGI says Mary Ann Spain) 1821 in Walmer. All the children were born in Walmer.

As the Spains seem to be in roughly the same part of Kent, I suppose there's a chance we are all related somewhere along the line.

Hi all.  Have a small spain problem that needs help. 
I have a Thomas SPAIN who married a 'Maria' and had Susannah SPAIN. Unfortiunately I have been digging about and have now 'clouded the ground' with Maria being either Maria Ann WARREN or Maria SILVER (or both depending if she was twice married!).

Now, Thomas SPAIN (b. c1778, d. 1864, Kent) married Maria (b c1797, Kent).  They had Susannah and other issue but Susannah was born 20 Mar 1838,  in Newington, Kent, (d. 1868, Bridge, Kent).  She married Edward Francis FORDRED in 1st Qtr, 1858 in Elham, Kent.  Susannah was my wife's maternal GGGrandmother.  Lot's of SPAIN's in Kent so need a litle help in identifying my one.  I guess I could seek a Marriage Certificate and wouldn't need any help! However, any help or family contacts much appreciated.

I have just spotted your post.  Thomas Spain married Maria Silver in Northbourne 8 Oct 1829.  I am researching William Spain born 1830 your Susannah's brother.
Thomas was the son of John Spain b1753 and Anne Finnis b1758
I have a bit more info on the Spains if you are interested

Chris.  Yes Interested in your offer of more SPAIN info.  Suzanne (my wife of 43 years!) and I visited the Kent region last year on a trip to UK and found a few threads.  Very interested in her Susannah's brother's and siblings meanderings about the tree, e.g. William.  We have just returned fro 5 weks in India on Holiday so need to crank up the genealogy files a bit to beome a bit more active.
regards
