Kent Marriage Licences 1750 Onwards

[JenClark]

Hi Robin,

I wonder if you would kind enough to check the Canterbury Marriage Licences books for the below couple:

John Lancefield & Anne Harrisson married by licence 3 Dec 1782, Lenham, Kent

Much appreciated

Hi Jane

The entry in the 1751-1780 Canterbury Marriage Licences - Page 192:

Hi Jenny

I am sorry I can't an entry for Lancefield or Harrisson in 1782.

The previous entry for a Lancefield was James Lancefield in 1774 and the subsequent entry for a Lancefield was Pascal Paoli Lancefield in 1795

Thanks grandarog

I had seen the marriage on Findmypast.

Thanks for checking Robin

John Lancefield was described in the parish register at the time of his marriage as "of the Parish of St John Wapping, Middlesex" so I wonder if the marriage licence was obtained in London rather than Kent....

I already have the marriage licence details for Pascal Paoli Lancefield & Sarah Wraight from 1795 (this was John's half brother), and as far as I am aware James Lancefield is not in my direct line.

Thanks again!

Robin, I wonder if I could trouble you for another marriage licence check?

Henry Ranger & Harriot Wright married 29 Jan 1800 Maidstone, Kent, by licence

Fingers crossed these two show up

Hi Jenny

The entry in the 1781-1809 Canterbury Marriage Licences - Page 224:

H[enr]y Ranger of Yalding bach[elor] & Harriott Wright of Maidstone sp[inster], at M[aidstone]. 25 Jan[uary] 1800

I also have John & Pascal Paoli Lancefield in my tree though I didn't know about John's marriage. As I am chasing all the Harlow surnames, I think I must have a very indirect link with them via their sister Mary Lancefield b. 1761 who married George Stevens.
