    • No Wickens in Orpington, Kent parish regsiters from 1813 to 1849, LDS film 992515

      I believe that Eliza Wickens in the census is the same person as Amy Wickens christened in the parish registers. Here is the parish register entry from Westerham, Kent: Amy daughter of William and Mary Wickens, Westerham, drayman, 28 Sep 1833, LDS Film 1469619 pg 138 no 1100

      The IGI shows the baptism as 28 Sep 1833

      From the parish registers, William and Mary Wickens of Westerham had the following children: Amy (28 Sep 1833), Anne (28 Feb 1836), William (21 Oct 1838), James (26 Sep 1841), John (30 Mar 1845), and Elizabeth (1 Oct 1848). In the 1841 Census, the children are Eliza, Ann and William. The ages of these children match the ages of Amy, Anne and William from the parish registers. The is no Amy in the censuses.
