Father William ADAMS, d. Yes, date unknown Mother Ann BROWNING, b. Abt 1748, Ickham, Kent, England , d. Yes, date unknown Banns of marriage 8 Jan 1775 to 22 Jan 1775 St. John the Evangelist’s Church, Ickham, Kent, England Married 23 Jan 1775 St. John the Evangelist’s Church, Ickham, Kent, England - ** I can't be sure that the Wm and Ann Adams who had the family at Bishopsbourne were the Wm Adams and Ann Browning who married at Ickham **
There are 2 queries:
1. was the Ann who my Wm Adams was married to a Browning?
Need to do a more thorough search of Wm Adams marriages to an Ann in the area (I have tried tracing the Browning tree a little in case it yields info. e.g. is there a Browning will referring to Ann by her married name?)
2. Do I have the right parents for Ann Browning?
In Ickham at this date no marriages showed bachelor or spinster etc.
Both were otp. Witnesses were Thomas Cotton and John Denn. John Denn(e) was a witness to most marriages - probably parish clerk. Who was Thomas Cotton? - is there a clue as to whether I have the right Ann Browning marrying Wm Adams. (see notes attached to Ann Browning for more info about the 2)
There was another Adams - Browning marr: Ann Adams to Edward Browning, banns read in Bishopsbourne, both otp, 1782. Ann Browning had a brother Edward b c 1751 (NS) but there was also an Edward b 1758, both Ickham.
