Mary Arnold, Kent 1700
« on: Sunday 28 April 24 17:32 BST (UK) »
Hi.  I have been doing my tree on Ancestry for a few years including a DNA test.  There is a hint to my 5th great grandmother being a Mary Arnold who was born in Folkestone in 1730 and marrying a Henry Butcher in 1756 and she died in 1813 in Whitstable.  On the ancestry for Mary Arnold they have put a photo of a caravan incinuating that she was a traveller.  I am just wondering how this could be proved from a records point of view etc.

The 1756 marriage record image indicates that Mary Arnold was a widow when she married.
Her residence when she died in 1814 was Seasalter, Whistable (as per her burial record).

No idea if this is Mary, but there's a 1751 marriage in Folkestone for a John Arnold to a Mary Graves.

There's a 1752 burial for a John Arnold (labourer) in Folkestone.

Thanks that information is great.  Where did you get that record.  I am wary about putting in my tree that she is connected as its one of those it could or couldnt be links.  If it is that she remarried then she possibly wasnt a traveller if she wasnt an Arnold.
