John Willington
« on: Sunday 12 July 15 01:53 BST (UK) »
Hi, I'm new so not sure if I'm on the right page!
Im looking for any information on my ancestor his name is John Willington born about 1656 he married Martha ? They had 4 children Percival, Martha 1671,John, ( my ancestor) 1672, Elizabeth 1677. John and Martha were  married and lived in Deal in Kent England he died in 1679.
What I'm looking for is his birth place and his parents name's I'm also looking for Martha's Surname and her parents.
Hope someone can help as it's so frustrating when you hit that brick wall!
Thank you in anticipation

Good morning Elliego and welcome to Rootschat
found these for your research - you say John was born about 1656 , but his first child is born 1671 which would make him a father at 15 ....possible but unlikely ..

there is this christening in Kent in Penshurst in 1640 - the only one I can find in the right timeframe in Kent -
