Hello Alviegal

Thanks again for your help. Strangely I got no result when I searched Family Search. :-)

You're welcome. Have a look at this link for possible siblings for him.

Hi Liz

The link does not seem to work?

Tony

HI Liz

Tried again and it worked a treat :D How can you remember the address??

Tony

Should do Tony. Did you get it all?
Try this instead. https://www.familysearch.org/

Then put Cornelius in the last name box and Hougham, Kent in the place box. You should get the page up then.

Liz

PS I can't remember it at all. Just copy and paste!!

Hi Liz

I cut and pasted the address and it worked OK :D There seems to be quite a few siblings and associated trees on Ancestry. Just wonder Richard and Mary could be; on Family Search:

record title: England Marriages, 1538-1973
groom's name: Richard Cornelius
bride's name: Mary Hodgsome
marriage date: 12 Jan 1775
marriage place: Little Chart, Kent, England
indexing project (batch) number: I06899-4
system origin: England-EASy
source film number

although it is about 20 miles or so from Dover. The date would be quite close?

Tony

I wondered that myself Tony. Don't know how you'd find out for definite though.

Hi Liz

Always likely to be a problem without some sort of corroborative evidence I know. Probably is them as the first sibling at Hougham dates 1776. Thanks for sharing you knowledge again.

Tony ;-)

I wonder if the marriage at Little Chart shows signatures.

Maybe we could find Richard signing some sort of parish record in Hougham...

Maybe he left a Will, which might have his signature...?

Hi Liz and Gwyn

Had a stroke of luck today. A helpful archivist at Canterbury went one step further than I expected and did a look up for me and found that the banns relating to Richard Cornelius who married at Little Chart showed he was of the parish of Hougham. Mary is shown as Hodgsome of the parish of Little Chart in the main text but then apparently spelled Hodgham by her mark. Strangely Hodgsome only appears in relation to this marriage but nowhere else???

I would like to get some comparisons of similar names for Mary within Little Chart. I seem to recall that on the old Family Search format there used to be a method of bulk searching the records of a parish. Can anyone please help as to how you can access them now.
