Other Partners: Elizabeth MILLS m. 9 Dec 1753Mother Mary BRACKPOOL, bur. 25 Jan 1751/52, St. Mary’s Church, Lenham, Kent, England Married 7 Jan 1723/24 St. Margaret’s Church, Wichling, Kent, England - This COULD be the marriage of this John.
If he had found work in Lenham prior to his marriage he could well have had a bridge from Wichling and married there.
However, there was also a marriage of a John HUNT to a Mary in Maidstone in 1722/3 (John otp married Mary TOLHURST of East Farleigh, marr 24 Feb 1722/3; from KFHS CD 26).
While that would also fit neatly as the marriage of this John, there was also a John baptised in Maidstone in 1689, son of John and Mary, who could have been the one that married then. A John son of Thomas and Ann was baptised in Maidstone in 1700/01, he could also be the John who married in Maidstone if he was still alive, I suspect he had died.
In addition Maidstone would have been where many young men could find work, so a John not born and baptised there may well have been 'otp' there in 1722/3.
The Wichling marriage could easily be the John baptised in Egerton in 1693/4; there is no sign of him in Egerton after his baptism.
