Other Partners: John PATEMAN m. 12 Apr 1772Married Abt 11 Oct 1751 St. Mary Bredin Church, Canterbury, Kent, England
- Date and place of marriage not certain, however the marriage licence shows it was to be in Canterbury; marriages in Canterbury were often on the day that the licence was issued.
It gives an option of 2 churches; the marriages registers for St. Margaret's for this period are online - it appears NOT to have been there. That suggests it was at the other, St. Mary Bredin (PR entries for this church at this period not found online)
Marriage License 11 Oct 1751 Canterbury, Kent, England
- Thos Beacon of Sittingbourne maltster bach (36) & Cath Boorne (Bourn) of Egerton sp (21), at St Mgt or St Mary Bredin Cant. 11 Oct 1751.
