Typical of Americans! Because there's a Kent in Delaware they take it for granted that that's where it ocurred.

Don't be led astray by such nonsense, Jacqueline had posted that marriage, that date, in Challock, Kent, ENGLAND.

hi
a family on ancestry has marriage of finch dowle and stephen mummery
date of 13 dec 1755 challock kent delaware USA? age24yrs of age at the of marriage

Gillian, I see that you have marked this thread as "Answered" I don't think anything has been answered here.

Are you saying now that Finch Dowle was married in USA? But isn't that her marriage that Jacqueline posted, 13 Dec. 1755, Challock, Kent?

hi thanks for all replies and updates sorry i have looked and she married in USA and indeed was born in kent england

I think there must have been 2 Finch Dowles. According to the Ancestry trees she was born 1731 to John Dowle & Ann Bond.

Sorry, but I can't imagine for one moment that she would have been having children with Mummery at the age of 52

Unless and until you identify, beyond doubt, George's father you can't 'go' anywhere

Gillian, it seems that you're trying to link your George to other Mummerys born 150-200 years earlier. You do realize that there would be many generations in between?

The only way to prove connections is to research, and get documentary evidence

Guessing about who fathered whom is likely to be fraught with problems, as is picking up on names just because they were born in the same County

Work back systematically from the person you are 100% sure of..............

There's 130-odd years between the one you, presumably, have as your relation, and the next one backwards in time.

You need to fill the gap.............................with facts

You haven't given either a year, or a location, for the marriage
