- From KFHS CD 33 - Joanna BUTLER dau of Wm and Joanna, abode Egerton
Gender Female Died Yes, date unknown Siblings4 brothers and 1 sister Half-siblings1 half brother and 1 half sister (family of William BUTLER and Elizabeth SMITH) Patriarch & Matriarch 
William BUTLER, b. Est 1745, (possibly), Egerton, Kent, England, d. Yes, date unknown (Father) 
Anna WILLAMENA, d. Yes, date unknown (Great Grandmother)Notes - (Research):Who was the father of Joanna's first 2 children? - presumably he had the surname Weeks. I wondered if they were living as man and wife, and he died before she married George Bridgeland, but there is no burial for a male Weeks in Headcorn between 1805-1808.
A 41 yr old James Weeks of Ulcombe was bur in Headcorn in 1817, and a 58 year old William of Headcorn in 1823. These are possibly the most likely candidates as father of Johanna's children, but it could well have been someone not buried in the village.

Father William BUTLER, b. Est 1745, (possibly), Egerton, Kent, England , d. Yes, date unknown
Other Partners: Elizabeth SMITH m. 5 Feb 1771Mother Johanna BECON, bap. 1 Mar 1744/45, St. Mary’s Church, Lenham, Kent, England , bur. 19 Mar 1823, St. Peter and St. Paul’s Church, Headcorn, Kent, England (Age ~ 78 years) Banns of marriage Between 3 Sep 1775 and 17 Sep 1775 St. James’ Church, Egerton, Kent, England - From KFHS CD 33 (where Joanna's surname transcribed as REASON !)
Banns of marriage 3 Sep 1775 St. Mary’s Church, Lenham, Kent, England - Date given is 1st reading, other probably 10 and 17 Sep.
(Source: KFHS transcript, CD 16)
Married 29 Sep 1775 St. Mary’s Church, Lenham, Kent, England - Marr by banns, Wm of Egerton made his mark, Joanna otp spinster - I assume signed, no mark shown in index.
Witnesses were Basil Hunt and Boswell Beacon - acc to KFHS transcript (CD 16).
I'm sure "Boswell" refters to one of the Basil/Bowell Be(a)cons - probably Joanna's brother, since there seems to have generally been a preference for young witnesses of a similar age to those getting married, though it could have been her father. Basil Hunt was probably her 1st cousin of this name (son of Richard and her aunt Isabella Hunt nee Becon)
