Mary MILLS was born on 10 Nov 1799 in St Mildred's Canterbury.
(36)(37) She died on 13 Aug
1839 in Nonnington Kent. Mary has proved very difficult to research. The only
clue as to her birthplace is the remark 'Of Thanington' in her marriage entry.
There is no record of her baptism in Thanington.. After several years trying
I finally used the services of Gillian Rickard to help track her down, and this
baptism at St Mildred's seems the most likely. It is a bare half mile from Thanington,
but it should be remembered that the remark 'of Thanington' may simply mean that
she was only living there AT THE TIME and may not be of there at all. Until the
real Mary MILLS stands up to be counted I have 'adopted' this one as being the
most likely candidate. Children were:
