Hi List I am looking for a Caroline SHIPWASH who I believe married a Thomas Hall in Hothfield(?), Kent, in the early 1800s. I am interested in her (and his) forbears, and their descendants... Thanks ... James Hall

Hi James I have the Hothfield PR CD which shows the following birth for Caroline & siblings Jul 25 John S of John & Dorcas SHIPWASH 1781 Apr 29 William S of John & Dorcas SHIPWASH 1783 Aug 3 Dorcas Wood D of John & Dorcas SHIPWASH 1785 Dec 4 Charlotte D of John & Dorcas SHIPWASH 1788 Feb 17 Elizabeth D of John & Dorcas SHIPWASH 1791 Jun 19 James S of John & Dorcas SHIPWASH 1796 Jun 26 Caroline D of John & Dorcas SHIPWASH Below is the marriage of Caroline's parents (and what looks like John's brother) - although the Shipwash brothers are shown as otp do not appear to have been born in Hothfield. 1779 Feb 7 John SHIPWASH Ba otp Dorcas WOOD Sp otp B John Harris Elizth Harris 1785 Apr 19 William SHIPWASH Ba otp Mary CREED Sp Charing B Robert Creed Thos Pearson This is the marriage of Thomas & Caroline 1820 May 22 Thomas HALL Ba otp Caroline SHIPWASH Sp otp B Wm Hughes Phebe Meaney And their children 1821 May 27 Edwin S of Thomas & Caroline HALL Hothfield (Labourer) 1822 Aug 25 James S of Thomas & Caroline HALL Hothfield (Labourer) 1824 Mar 15 John Wood S of Thomas & Caroline HALL Hothfield (Labourer) 1826 Mar 24 George S of Thomas & Caroline HALL Hothfield (Farmer) 1827 Dec 17 Robert William S of Thomas & Caroline HALL Hothfield (Farmer) 1830 Jul 17 Thomas S of Thomas & Caroline HALL Hothfield (Farmer) 1832 Apr 11 William S of Thomas & Caroline HALL Hothfield (Farmer) This looks like Dorcas Wood's chr (& siblings but not sure about Sarah as says parents Richard & Elizabeth - but right time frame) 1764 Mar 4 William S of Robert & Elizabeth WOOD 1772 Apr 26 Sarah D of Richard & Elizabeth WOOD 1777 Feb 23 Dorcas D of Robert & Elizabeth WOOD 1780 Jan 30 Grace D of Robert & Elizabeth WOOD Doesn't look like Robert & Elizabeth Wood married in Hothfield but there are what appears to be Wood siblings (one marrying a Dorcas - which presumably is where the name Dorcas came from). This looks like Robert Wood's chr (with siblings) 1728 Jun 16 John S of Thomas & Ann WOOD 1729 Aug 24 Thomas S of Thomas & Ann WOOD 1732 Feb 25 Sarah D of Thomas & Ann WOOD 1734 May 26 Robert S of Thomas & Ann WOOD 1736 Oct 9 William S of Thomas & Ann WOOD 1739 Nov 25 Elizabeth D of Thomas & Ann WOOD It doesn't look as though Thomas & Ann married in Hothfield. And no sign of Thomas' chr - in fact no Wood chrs before 1722. Contiguous parishes are Westwell, Ashford, Great Chart, Bethersden, Little Chart. The only one I have is Great Chart and no Halls or Shipwash/Sheepwash etc. there. You should be able to pick up Thomas & Caroline's children on the census returns - although worth looking on the following site http://www.woodchurchancestry.org.uk/midkentmarriages/index.php A quick glance came up with this marriage 1860 10 November HALL Robert William Mary Ann Gurr Hothfield West Ashford Must away now but hope this helps Regards Sue -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Hall Sent: 28 March 2012 02:13 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [KENT-ENG] Caroline Shipwash Hi List I am looking for a Caroline SHIPWASH who I believe married a Thomas Hall in Hothfield(?), Kent, in the early 1800s.
