Thank you both for your help! That's great confirmation of the marriage.

And the other piece about the church trustees is very interesting! I'm thinking she would be a relative of Luke Philcox? I can't find a Luke Philcox in the tree yet, but will see if anything comes up.

Thanks again,
Sam

I've gotten stuck with this piece of information! From other family trees, I've seen that John Philcox (born 1753) and Mary Kemp (born 1753) got married, however there doesn't seem to be any proof anywhere of this, or much else on their lives.

The best proof I've found is on a website that said they got married on the 10th of April 1788 in Battle, Sussex. However I cannot view the source.

Could anyone please shed some light on this? The Kemp family tree looks really interesting and it'd be great to know if they're actual relatives!

Thank you,
Sam Waters
