Sarah Hougham

Bef 1743 - 1832  (~ 89 years)

• Name	Sarah Hougham
  Born	Bef 21 Mar 1743	Bromley, Kent, England
  	Her marriage registration includes "Sarah Hougham of Cath[edral] sp[inster] (26)". If "26" means her age, then she was born in the year prior to 12 Jan 1748. There is also a record of a baptism in 1743 of a Sarah daughter of Solomon and Lydia. So either she did not give her actual age when she married, or an earlier birth to Solomon and Lydia was named Sarah and died as an infant.
  Gender	Female
  Residence	12 Jan 1774	Canterbury, Kent, England
  of Cathedral
  Died	23 May 1832	St Alphege, Canterbury, Kent, England   [1]
  Buried	29 May 1832	Canterbury, Kent, England   [2]
  Notes	One reference indicated that she was perhaps known as Mary and had 16 children. But her daughter-in-law is Mary, also a Hougham, and she had at least 14 children. Both women had married name Royes. If it is correct that John Royes died when Solomon was a child, and since Sarah is known as Royes in her brother's 1818 will (that is, not re-married), it is unlikely that she had more than about 3 children. It is therefore almost certain that the reference is to her daughter-in-law. There seem to be two candidates for this Sarah Hougham 1. born 1743 2. born 1747 It is possible that there were two born to Solomon Hougham and Lydia Hunt, the first having presumambly died before 1747.

  		1700 ROYES The earliest known Royes - John We had previously identified John Royes 1752-1832 as our earliest Royes. We then identified his father as William Royes - no information about birth or marriage. We have information that a William Royes was born in 1723 in Lincolnshire. But John 1752 was born in, worked, married and died in Canterbury, Kent. So this link is uncertain though not impossible. Lincolnshire William's wife is Sarah Taylor and his parents were John and Mary Royes.
