Could anyone please help in finding the parents of Mary Ward b c1772 in Eynesford. I have been told that Mary married Thomas Kemp b1777 in Orpington on 2/5/1796, not sure where. They had at least two children John and Hannah. I am quite new to this and am not sure how to find relatives born before census!
Any help greatly appreciated. Thankyou.

First port of call is the IGI (International Genealogical Index) which you can view for free on the Familysearch site.
