Hello, Listers. "My" Mary CHAMBERS married Richard PATTEN in 1815 at St
Nicholas, Rochester, Kent. The witnesses to the marriage are James DALTON and Charlotte
PATTEN (the groom's sister). Mary (CHAMBERS) PATTEN died aged 41, and was buried at St
Margaret's, Rochester, Kent on 16 Sep 1834. Thus her birth date could be 1793 or
1794. I am seeking her birthplace and parents.
A possible mother is Mary CHAMBERS widow, who married Richard WHIFFING widower on 17 Oct
1796 at Parish Church, Strood which is near Rochester. The witnesses to this marriage are
Joseph WATSON and Dolores CLARK. I have not found a possible first husband's death or
a first marriage or a possible daughter birth at Strood.
I would appreciate if Listers could keep an eye out in other parishes for this widow Mary
CHAMBERS' first marriage.
Many thanks and best wishes in your own research.
