Name Frederick Charles RYE Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 21 Dec 1850 Wickhambreaux, Kent, England 
- GRO ref: RYE, Frederick Charles q1 1851 Bridge RD 5 49
Details from birth registration entry (image of GRO register), which names his mother as Mary Ann Rye, with no father named.
Baptised 23 Feb 1851 St. Andrew’s Church, Wickhambreaux, Kent, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 30 May 2025), which names his mother as Charlotte Rye, with no father named.
"1851 Feby 23d No. 574. Frederick Charles illegitte Son of Charlotte Rye, abode: Wickhambreux, [father's occupation field left blank], ceremony performed by Charles Thos Plumptre Rector."
I believe Charlotte has to be a mistake. He is with his grandparents in the 1851 census, his grandmother being Charlotte. Given the absence of a father's name I don't believe they were pretending to be Frederick's parents, and in a small rural parish too many people are likely to have known for this to be possible. Although Mary Ann had a sister Charlotte, she was born too late (1842) and I believe had died earlier in 1850.
Hence it seems a simple error - the priest or Parish Clerk mis-remembering, or Charlotte instead of Frederick's mother taking him to be baptised, or maybe asked for the 'mother's name' Mary Ann or perhaps a sibling who was to be a godparent named her mother rather than Frederick's!
Gender Male Employee 1893 Of Mr Montague Kingsford of Littlebourne - A labourer, in Mr Kingsford's employ when accused of stealing hay. Edward Welband, who pleaded guilty, was a fellow employee of Montague Kingsford, also an employee.
Petty sessions 1893 St. Augustine’s Petty Sessions, Canterbury, Kent, England Accused of stealing hay - discharged
(no other BMD events for a Frederic(k) RYE in Bridge RD until a marriage in 1931, so I think it safe to assume it was this Frederick)
