Married 17/2/1878 Challock, Kent. My paternal great grandparents. I am trying to find Annie's mother's maiden name. Her first name is Sarah born 1832 Wickham. Married to Thomas Higgins born 1833 Lenham, Kent..I can't find any records for her except census. I think that maybe she was the second wife!

Please can anyone help?

Thanks

Jill :-(
