Notes

A George Beken was bur in Biddenden in 1871 but age given as 79. Censuses should clarify whether this one.
Plenty of trees on Ancestry have George b 1792 - showing him as son of Benjamin and Martha.
Age on censuses agree with gravestone, were there 2, is baptism date wrong or did George lie about his age? (or are all the trees wrong?)
