Research Notes
Brown-13495 15:12, 2 June 2018 (UTC) No baptism found on FamilySearch, FindMyPast, Ancestry.co.uk, kent-opc.org Could the name have been Beeching originally?
Process of elimination to identify Martha:
- Reviewed the Rodmershan parish records for any Martha born around 1780, and found there were only two Martha's baptised within a 10 year period. Martha Wood was baptised in 1780.
- Marriage at Shadoxhurst (6 hours walk from Rodmershan) between Martha Wood and Richard Beeching was found via a search on Findmypast & Familysearch, along with a burial record for Richard.
