GRO ref: OTTAWAY, Thomas E to DAY, Elizabeth q4 1889 East Ashford RD 2a 1376a
Actual date and place from transcribed data from Challock PRs on KFHS CD 27
Shows Thomas Edward OTTAWAY aged 23, labourer, a Bachelor, son of Thomas, married Elizabeth DAY, aged 23, Spinster, daughter of Henry, both bride and groom being of Challock, married by Banns witnesses Alfred Ottaway and Rosa Ann Tamsett.
The KFHS data records the banns register as showing the marriage as being on 9 Oct. I don't know if there is an error in one of the registers or if this is a transcription error.
The 1911 census shows that Thomas and Elizabeth had 6 children together, all of whom were still living (and all six were with them at the time of the census)

"England Marriages, 1538'961973 ," database, FamilySearch (accessed 6 October 2015), Percy Charles Ottaway and Clara May Goatham, 28 Mar 1925; citing transcribed data from Parish registers for Rodmersham, 1538-1950; FHL microfilm 1,473,708.
However, the KCC register code is that for Bredgar, not Rodmersham. I suspect the FS entry may be for the banns, with the marriage date added.
