It's a thought, Colin, but I don't believe John would be 20 years out.

1841 England Census
Name: John Mills
Age: 35
Estimated birth year: abt 1806
Gender: Male
Civil Parish: St Mary Newington

Occupation: Traveller

Registration district: St Mary Newington
Sub-registration district: Trinity
Household Members: Name Age
John Mills 35
Jane Mills 30
Mary Mills 1

And he lives longer than 1866. So either we have a totally different family or that tree has just taken baptism & death records and believe they are for the same person.

They obviously had a bulk baptism, but it still doesn't account for the 20 years difference. You would know at 95 that you don't look or feel like a 75 year old. Or at 35 whether you are really 55 as in 1841.

It is very possible that John Mills b. 1788 ha just been added to the tree


and that John Mills baptized 1805 is truly Solomon andMary's child!



sylvia

Hmmmm. We need Carol back again.

Also this family doesn't seem to end up at Swanley as she suggests.
