Hello All I have been a member of this list for sometime but as my branch of the Penfolds were born in Kent I have been posting mainly to the Penvill-Penfold list. However I now find that after looking at 1841 & 1851 census returns and burial entries the John Penfold married to Mary Gooding whom I thought was the son of John Penfold & Sarah Sprenge was born to early to be their son. >From his burial entry 29 June 1835 aged 67 years in Hawkhurst, Kent it would seem that he was born about 1768 but because he died in 1835 I have no census returns to check for place of birth. I have found a John Penfold son of Richard & Elizabeth Penfold baptised 7 Dec 1767 in St. Mary Ashford, Kent and wondered if any of you had any info on him. Other than that I was wondering if anyone had a John born about 1768 who may have crossed into Hawkhurst and married Mary Gooding on 10 Dec1804. Heather Domoney has suggested a couple of Johns from her info but if any one else has a John who could possibly fit I would be pleased to hear from you. Best wishes Joy Hurst
