Notes

CHRISTENING:
1. FHL film 992456 for Brenchley Parish also confirmed against FHL film 1469177 Bishop's Transcript for Brenchley Parish:
-31 Jul 1720: Thomas son of Thomas Waterman.
-1 ___ 1722, John Son of Thomas Waterman. (Month is in crease of book and can't be read; however, the Bishop's Transcript of this entry shows 1 Apr 1722.)
-12 Apr 1724, William son of Thomas Waterman.
-2 Apr 1727, Richard son of Thomas Waterman.
-13 Apr 1729, Robert son of Thomas Waterman.
-7 Mar 1730/31, Anne daughter of Thomas Waterman.
-21 Jan 1732/33, Mary daughter of Thomas Waterman.
-9 Jul 1734, Eleanor daughter of Thos. Waterman. Buried 7 Aug 1735, Eleanor daughter of Thos. Waterman. (The record was misread by the indexers since the date is in the crease with only the day showing. It could be either 9 or 29; however, the Bishop's transcript confirms it is 9. The original record has the "t" in Augt. elevated from the next entry where you can only see the "t" thereby assuming a sloppy 2.)

-23 Nov 1737, George son of Thomas Waterman dec'd. (The father Thomas was bur. 19 Oct 1737 and so this child was born post mortem.
