Elizabeth Holdstock who married Edward Osborne Tunbridge are in Kent

[3lle00]

I'm looking for the birth source reference for Elizabeth Holdstock, many people on ancestry (I'm presuming have all copied each other as usual without reference) have the birth date for Elizabeth Holdstock as 11 November 1754, in Kemsing/Egerton in Kent. However, I cannot find any reference to this, I've tried ancestry docs, findmypast, thewealds (Kent opc website) and National Archives sources etc...

I am related to her through Edward Osborne b. 1780 Shipborne, Tunbridge Wells, (findmypast)
which states parents were Edward Osborne, and Elizabeth.

Parents Edward Osborne and Elizabeth Holdstock were married in Kemsing St Mary, Tunbridge in 1775 (findmypast)

I then have Edward Osborne b. 1749 in Shipborne St.Giles, Tunbridge Wells

However, I cannot find where many people have got Elizabeth Holdstocks birth of November 1754 in the Kemsing/Egerton area and her presumed parents William Holdstock and Elizabeth Cooper...

Any help appreciated.

  There is a baptism of Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Holdstock 25th Jan. 1743/44, at Wittersham. This is quite a way from the area you mention. My geography of West Kent is a bit vague, but I think Kemsing and Egerton are not very close to each other?

Ah yes I believe they are far apart, Shipborne and Kemsing are viable as only around 5 miles apart by the crow flies, I think I only saw one other person put Egerton...so mentioned it anyway

It looks like the Ancestry info is American invention to suit their needs of getting  their lines back as far as Jesus ,Joseph, Mary and the Wee Donkey.

The only option that I can see that could solve your problem may be.
