Hi Detective
Yes I am a little rusty on these boards, it has been a while and I used to be able to spend hours at the Canterbury archive but that luxury is not possible at the moment. I will do as you say and ferret around in the Finches on here. Many thanks

Hi Marie - your best option might be to use the search all members trees option, to see if anyone else has any of the names listed.

Then you can send them a message and pool research.

Have you looked for Wills for the surname Finch in the general area? *IF* there is one, say for John (or Mary's) father, it might name all of his children

Hi
Are there any Kent Finch family out there ( not the Eastwell Manor ones )
Do any of the Finch family in Alkham Have a connection to the Finch family in Chartham Kent. My quest is to Connect Mary Ann Finch born 1832 Chartham Father John mother Mary Cozens. Married to Charles Heritage lived at Coolinge farm Cheriton, to Ann Finch who married William Gambrill around 1798 they lived at Alkham Hogbrook farm. I have a lot more details of Charles and Mary Ann if needed. Many thanks
Marie
