      Baptisms of children of a John and Mary GRIGGS appear in Birchington PRs from a few months after the marriage of this John and Mary up to and including 1811. The family is not found there after this date, but appear to have moved to Ramsgate. However, no children known of born there till c. 1823. The two known of are with widow Mary in 1841  and 1851 censuses, and Mary is of the right age to be this one.
      So, why no children between 1811 and 1823? I did wonder if they had lived for a while in Nackington, as index (on FMP) shows children of a John and Mary baptised there in 1812, 1815 and 1817. However, checking marriages of John Grigg(s) etc. to a Mary shows there was one in Nackington in 1812, so those three children almost certainly offspring of this other John and Mary. (Probably also the children baptised in Canterbury in the 1820s were children of the Nackington couple; abode was given as 'St Lawrence' at the baptism of 2 in St. Paul's Church in 1823, but the St. Lawrence area of Canterbury was in St. Paul's Parish, so that was probably the abode, not St. Lawrence in Thanet).

      No baptisms found for the two children born in Ramsgate in the 1820s, and John appears to have been buried in the burial ground of a non-conformist chapel, so possibly any other children were either baptised in a non-confirmist chapel whose records don't survive, or perhaps who believed in adult baptism.
