Hi!

That's brilliant! I was hoping that she might be living with one of her
children, but to find so many of them together is just great,

Thanks for your help.

I have found this on the parish records  for Ardington which you may be interested in.

Mary Kent daughter of Francis and Mary Kent baptised June 20 1779

Mary Kent married John Wilkins Feb. 12th 1804 - marriage witnesses William Alder and Thomas Wilkins.

Hi Pauline!

Sorry I haven't got back to you before now.

The info I have is that Francis Kent married Sarah Lewis on 12th Oct 1778 at Ardington
and that they had 2 children Mary christened on 20th June 1779 and Martha christened
on 9th Dec 1781.

I have details on the burials of Francis at Ardington and Sarah at East Hendred:
Francis Kent - a young married man - died on 25th Sept 1786 and was buried on
27th Sept 1786
Sarah Kent was buried on 1st July 1821

Mary Kent had 3 illegitimate sons before marrying John Wilkins and it's interesting that
she named her first legitimate son Francis (after her father) and her first legitimate
daughter Martha (probably after her sister).

I have never been able to find out what happened to Martha Kent, so if you do happen
to come across her in the parish records.....!

Anyway, thanks again for taking the trouble to reply.

Best wishes,

Ju
