In 1871 John and Emily Gorham are not living at that address (if I've found the correct ones)
Looks like Emily was a Parker.

Many Thanks Gypsy,
so the John the Gamekeeper from West Farleigh seems the favourite ?

The names and ages from the 1871 and 1861 I have found all match up so I do think they are the same family

Does addresses at 27 and 29 peel street maidstone in November 1874 give any clue ie John and Emily Gorham ?

John in the 1861 Gypsy found was a gamekeeper, what was Johns occupation on Eliza's marriage certificate.

Derek Report 24 Aug 2014 20:04

The above were my Great Grandparents on Paternal side. I have Census details that fit in 1901 and 1911 living in 16 Boxley Road. He was a fruit dealer buying fruit in Kent and having it transported to London Markets. She was a sweet packer in Toffee Factory ( I suspect Trebor Sharps factory in Maidstone) I purchased a wedding certificate which shows they were married in St Pauls Church Maidstone in November 1874. i know Eliza was born in Sutton Valence, near Maidstone. Fathers were Stephen Parker (senior) and her father was John Waghorn - Stephen Junior resides at 29 Peel Street Maidstone and Eliza at 27 Peel Street at time of marriage..Witnesses were John and Emily Gorham- Emily (nee Parker) was Stephens sister and my great aunt.

I have been having problems confirming which Eliza Waghorn is my Great Grandmother and which Waghorn family was hers. I was given info from researcher from this site that her father was a David Waghorn with associated family info - however this must be wrong as Marriage cert shows fathet as John Waghorn.

Can anyone help ?
