Hi
I was taking a look at my threads to see if I could glean any more about my Wellards.
The Monk family looks very interesting (I'm amazed that I missed the post).
Thank you Alviegal,where did you find such detailed info? All I need now is a marriage to tie up loose ends.
Regards
Wendy

Hi Wendy,

Have a look at http://www.freereg.org.uk. There are quite a number of Monks and Wellards in Eynsford and surrounding area.

Still can't find a marriage for Robert and Sarah but Sarah Monk does seem very promising.

Thanks Liz
It really does sound promising.I couldn't find a marriage for a Sarah Monk either so perhaps that is a good sign.The birth dates of the Sarah Monk and Sarah married to Robert fit.
I wiil have a look the sight you mention.
Regards
Wendy
