Father William HALKE, bap. 9 Oct 1575, St. Mary’s Church, Brabourne, Kent, England , d. Yes, date unknown (Age ~ 66 years) Mother Elizabeth LYSTER, bap. 24 Mar 1583, St. Peter and St. Paul’s Church, Appledore, Kent, England , d. Aft 15 Jul 1642 (Age ~ 59 years) Married 9 Oct 1599 St. Mary’s Church, Brabourne, Kent, England - From the Parish Register (m/f images, viewed at the CCA, July 2015)
"Willm Hawcke and elyzebethe Lister were maried the 9 of october ao 1599"
These show that the bride's name for 2 consecutive entries is given as Elizabeth Lyster.
Were there really 2 marriages running for an Elizabeth Lyster? I was at first suspicious that an error had been made, but it would seem there were.
Lyster was not a Brabourne name, but the marriage licence for the previous entry (for a marriage to a John Carpenter) shows that Elizabeth was a widow from Appledore.
I speculated that maybe the 2nd Elizabeth was a relation who met through the first marriage occuring. Now I have seen the will of a William Lyster of Appledore who died in 1599. He left a daughter and a widow Elizabeth; it seems these were the two Elizabeths who married in Brabourne. A note has been added alongside the probate statement for the will, dated 27 Nov 1600, which mentions William Halk, confirming a link between a William Halk and the Lysters in the will.
Further evidence is that Elizabeth Lyster of Appledore had a sister Agnes, who fits as the one who married Boys Ower, with references to the Halkes in their wills.

Family Henry HART, b. Abt 1601, d. Yes, date unknown (Age ~ 74 years) Marriage License 23 Jan 1629 Canterbury, Kent, England - From Cowper (second series, p.465):
"Hart, Henry, of Sellinge, g., ba., about 27, and Agnes Halke of Bircholt. v., about 19, d. of William Halke, s. p., g., who consents, as is testified by William Hart of Sellinge, g., brother of the said Henry. In the church or chapel of Smeeth. Jan. 23, 1629."
[Sellinge almost certainly means Sellindge, not Selling near Faversham, since the Hart family were strongly associated with Sellindge]
Married 4 Feb 1629 St. Mary’s Church, Smeeth, Kent, England - Agnis marr Smeeth 1629 (marr licence confirms this Agnes) - marr 4 Feb 1629 (on KFHS CD 31 but shown as Anne)At the time Henry and Agnes were having children baptised in Sellindge there was also a Henry and Jane Hart having children baptised.
Unfortunately the mother's name was not always recorded so I am not quite certain which were the children of this marriage. The two who may have been children of Henry and Jane are the one with no name recorded, baptised and buried in Feb 1633/4 and John baptised in 1630.
There appears to be quite a gap between children baptised in 1637 and 1648; I think John baptised in 1648 was probably a son of this Henry and Agnes (see baptism notes on his page). But there may have been another child or children in the gap. A Henry, gent, was married in 1673, but I haven't come across the baptism of a Henry son of this Henry. There was one son of Henry and Jane in 1636/7 - was that Henry a gentleman too? (It's not just a mistake in the mother's name, assuming the children were baptised as was the norm when only a few days old the baptism was too close to that of this Henry's daughter Agnes to be another child of this Henry)The Henry married in 1673 may well have been the Henry gent buried in 1724 (still in Sellindge)
A Maria was baptised in 1627, before this Henry married - so presumably daughter of another Henry (this one was shown as bachelor in the marriage licence)
I'm sure that this Henry and Agnes must be the couple in the visitation record published here. This shows a son William; whilst it is possible that there was a William I haven't come across, it is worth noting that the tree also shows Agnes's father as John. I think it likely that the Christian names of John and William were accidentally switched when the tree was drawn up, either in the book or in the earlier records.
