	the first children's births were recorded with mother's name SPICKET and the later children as SPICKETT so that's the right marriage https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp e.g. BOX, REUBEN SPICKET GRO Reference: 1851 J Quarter in SEVENOAKS UNION Volume 05 Page 461 BOX, GEORGE SPICKETT GRO Reference: 1855 D Quarter in SEVENOAKS UNION Volume 02A Page 314 (although I'm not seeing William) (Otford is in Sevenoaks Union reg dist)

	Malyon it is not SPRIKET it is as I posted, SPICKET for the older children and SPICKETT for the younger children How could the mother have been unmarried when the marriage occurred before their births? the absence of a mother's surname does not necessarily mean unmarried, these were early registrations and it may just not have been recorded.
