(Age ~ 50 years) Married - Probably the Robert who married Sarah Dennis in Sittingbourne in March 1801.
There was a Sarah Swiferton DENNIS baptised in Sittingbourne in 1785, also a Sarah Dennes baptised in Teynham in 1779 and a Sarah Dynes baptised in Challock in 1780, as well as other's further afield (best match on date from age at death was a Sarah Dennis baptised 1783 in Maidstone). The couple who married in 1801 had daughters
Mary Ann - baptised 7 Jun 1801 at Sittingbourne, St Michael (probably the Mary Ann buried 28 Mar 1802 in Sittingbourne)
Sarah - baptised 4 Dec 1803 at Sittingbourne, St Michael
If this couple were the above there were probably more children between the above and those shown here.
Regardless, could be missing other children, as not found the baptisms of all those with Robert in census years etc.
One could be the William buried aged 8 in 1833 (abode Sheerness, buried Minster).
Others might have been the George of Sheerness who died in infancy and was buried in 1815, the infant Robert of Sheerness buried in 1825 and the Martha of Sheerness buried aged 1 in 1820. All buried in Minster-in-Sheppey. However, Martha's was a parish funeral and I would have thought that a dockyard blacksmith would have earned enough not to be dependant on the parish.
