Trying to find Holness

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I have traced my family back to a Thomas Holness born about 1781 in the Chislett area of Kent. In the 1841 census he has a wife Sarah b. abt. 1791 and children George, edward, Daniel and Henry (b abt 1830 and is my GG Grandfather). They are living next door to Stephen Holness 1781, wife Mary Ann, who I have traced back to Thomas Holness and Elizabeth swain, so I feel sure there must be a family link somewhere, but cant find the marriage or birth of my Thomas. Can anyone help?
