    • I think there were probably no children from this marriage as both were buried in Lenham and there were no baptisms of their children there (at the Parish Church).
      Although the marriage was in Canterbury both were shown as of Lenham at the time of the marriage, so it is unlikely any children were born in Canterbury - the marriage was probably there due to the fashion for marrying in towns.
