KINGSNORTH OFFEN was baptised in 1801
in Peasmarsh, Sussex (source : Collette Kendall).
He married JUDITH WOOLLETT
in 1824 in Peasmarsh, Sussex
(source : Collette Kendall). She was born circa 1792 (source : Collette Kendall).
Shortly after the birth of their first child, they obviously fell on hard times and a removal order from
Icklesham back to Peasmarsh was served on 12th December 1826 for Kingsnorth Offen, his wife Judith and son Richard (1)
(source : A2A website, Overseers of the Poor:
settlement records - ref. PAR401/32, FILE - Removal order from Icklesham - ref. PAR401/32/2/53 ).
Judith died in 1840 (source : Collette Kendall).
There is a death registered for JUDITH OFFEN in March quarter 1840 (source : Free BMD, district Rye, volume
7, page 309).
Four years after Judith's death, in 1841, Kingsnorth remarried CHARLOTTE VENNER
in Peasmarsh, Sussex (source : Collette Kendall). She was born circa 1804 (source : Collette Kendall).
A year later, in 1842, she died (source : Collette Kendall). Her death is registered in September quarter 1842,
and on the same page, there is a death listed for JUDITH OFFEN, so perhaps she died as a result of childbirth and
Kingsnorth named the child Judith, in memory of his first wife (source : Free BMD, district Rye, volume 7,
page 290).
Five years after Charlotte's death, on 13th May 1847, Kingsnorth remarried JANE BUMSTED
in Rye, Sussex (source : BVRI 2nd edition). She was born in 1809 in Heathfield, Sussex (source : Collette Kendall).
She had a son, JOSEPH BUMSTED , who was baptised in 1845 in Rye, Sussex (source :
Collette Kendall).
Kingsnorth died in 1854 in Rye, Sussex (source : Collette Kendall).
Jane died in 1873 in Iden, Sussex (source : Collette Kendall). Her death was registered in June quarter 1873
and her age was recorded as 67 (source : Free BMD, district Rye, volume 2b, page 3).
