Margaret Worrill when was she born?
« on: Thursday 07 January 21 20:02 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone

I’m trying to find the birth information for Margaret. What I know so far is she married John Hills 12 October 1773 at Bilsington Kent. You can view the marriage on findmypast parish records.

I am know trying to find a birth for Margaret the problem is her surname it can be spelt in many ways.
I have found a baptism for a Margaret Whorwell 2February 1745.
I would like to ask for other opinions if you think this could be my Margaret or if you can find a better match.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

  I haven't come up with anything better in a fairly wide search, and the Margaret you found was born in Smeeth, which is the right general area. I imagine Whorwell could easily be pronounced Worrell and spelled Worrill.
   I think there was someone else a few months ago with almost the same problem.

Panda, I too can only find what you have found, but given the two locations that are within 5 miles of each other it's a strong contender.

Thank you to both of you for taking the time to look and help me clarify that Margaret is the right one.

Many thanks

It's interesting to search for Whorwells in the parish register transcriptions of Smeeth.  You can see how the name varied over time, perhaps depending on the vicars' preferred spelling.

Thanks Bearkat that’s my job for the weekend, trying to find family group members and grow the branch of my tree a bit further back. :)
