!BIRTH : From John Darkens family bible (Looked in Old Meeting House registers for birth but the last entry found was for Aug 1785. What happended to the rest of the registers? AHD says that John's father left the Old Meeting House in 1782, so perhaps it would not be of any help anyway. The Old Meeting House appears to have been the Congregational Church from the beginning in 1714 and became the Old Metting House in 1757.) !MARRIAGE: From St Gregorys Parish records. Witnessed by William Yarrington and (1st) Charlotte Deyns (France's sister) Married by marriage bann. Published april 17th/24th & may 1st !MARRIAGE: From John Darkens family bible !DEATH: From Debretts family tree supplied by Arthur Darken, IL

!BIRTH: There is an entry with IGI ref : LDS 9004007 5 1553663 giving birth as Dec 24 1785. I believe that someone has incorrectly assumed John Darken, spouse of Frances Deyns to be the son of William and Ann Holdsworth. This could not be as John would have to be born 17 years before his parents marriage!

Notes

!BIRTH: Gertrudes birthday book has an entry for Helen Verstaevel of Feb 26 1861 which fits with the death announcement of age 66 in 1927. Have not found her mentioned as Helen anywher else. Also, From JE 7/1994 :Registered first quater 1861 Holt.

!MARRIAGE: Checked English vital records indexes for 1882 but could not find this marriage. Possibly married in France as her husband was French, they were in France soon after the wedding (see letter below), and at least one of her children was born in France. Joseph J. Muskett however, says that the marriage was at his expense which would seem unlikely if it was in France.

!DEATH-BURIAL: Death announcement card in Arthur M. Darken's possesion. Buried in private grave 9948.

Notes

!CHRIST: St Julian parish register !MARRIAGE: St Gregorys parish registers

!Family records mention a daughter of William and Sarah marrying someone by !the name of COLK(?). This makes it probable that CORK is the correct name.

!Another possible marriage is to Richard Watson 4/23/1802 - LDS 7924732 sh:66

!FURTHER RESEARCH : Letter from Fanny to Arthur 1913 mentions a daughter of Sarah and Mr Cork (or colk?) as marrying a Mr TAVORY. Look for marriage of Mary Anne/Eliza or Harriet to Mr Tavory. They apparently had at least 2 children.
