For more detail on this listing and the event see http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Pub/ArchCant/007%20-%201868/007-03.pdf
No one listed with the following surnames (or variations thereof): Acock/Alcock, Barret, Chepfield, Dancy, Dennet, Gateland, Hadwin, Hales, Herbert, Hopper, James, Kitney, Marden, Mills, Morskin, Shelly, Sisley, Straine, Upton, and Vande Wall.
2. Worldconnect 23 Jun 2007 database ":1773912" of Noel Moss :
A. BIRTH; Ancestral File; 1647; Family History Centre, St. John's, Newfoundland; NOTE; AF shows Anne Wilding (AFN LSCQ-J6) as being born at Hollingbourne, Kent in 1647. B. MARRIAGES; Ancestral File; 1675; Family History Centre, St. John's; NOTE; Two marriages are listed for Anne Hadwin; The first to Mr. Wilding (AFN LSCQ-H1); The second to Tobias Eagles (AFN LSCM-HL) in 1675 at Stockbury, Kent. C. NAME; Maiden Name given through Personal Communication from Alan Turner; for full source details see notes for Anne's Husband Tobias Eagles.
3. The following extraction was made from the "Index to the Kent Lay Subsidy Roll of 1334/5," by H.A. Hanley, B.A. and C.W. Chalklin, M.A., B. Litt <http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Pub/KRV/18/7/313.htm> accessed 11 Feb 2016. From this index, the actual entries are found in "The Kent Lay Subsidy Roll of 1334/5," by the same authors <http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Pub/KRV/18/3/058-172.htm> accessed 12 Feb 2016. The second document more fully explains the history of this Lay Subsity. This was a tax assessed on householders; however, it probably only represents about 50% of the householders since the poorer families were not assessed:
No mentions were found for family surnames Acock/Alcock, Barret, Chepfield, Dancy, Dennett, Eagles, Gateland, Hadwin, Hales, Mills, Morskin, Shelley, Sisley, Strain, Vande Wall, Worme.
4. Judging from the actual sources on her F/S page, what we actually do know as of May 2018:
1. Her first name was Anne from the baptismal record of 4 children and her second marriage record.
2. Her first husband was a Mr. Wilding, since she married Tobias Eagles as the "Widow Anne Wilding."
3. The second marriage was in Hollingbourne as were the baptisms of the four children. We have no other location that is proven.
What we assume from the supposed rarity of the name Tobias Eagle, is that the same Tobias of the marriage is the same man who was buried in Stockbury in 1701. This seems reasonable considering the oddness of the name and that Stockbury is only 9 miles or so from Hollingbourne (I like to see no more than about 12 miles or so in moves in this time period). With this assumption, we then have assumed the daughter Elizabeth married in Stockbury is our line and his daughter. We also have a marriage of a son Jeremiah in Wormshill, which adjoins Hollingbourne parish.
We can generally assume the marriage takes place in the bride's parish, but this is not 100% foolproof. So we need to start with a search for any Anne who married a Wilding in which a Wilding died before 1675 in Hollingbourne and then a radius search thereby.
We also need to look at the actual parish or bishop's transcript copy of the burial record supposedly of our Anne Eagles who died in Stockbury in 1719. Extraction won't show, but the image may show if she is a widow of Tobias. We could also do an extraction of all Eagles (with variant spellings) in Stockbury at this time to make sure we are not dealing with two or more Eagle families in Stockbury at the same time. I believe that F/S has now digitized that film and it can be looked at online. What I have just done is to take the batch number of both burials and the marriage of the dau. Elizabeth and entered that as a parameter in the find person in search mode, effectively letting me see every person extracted with whatever surname I enter. You can also use the symbol * for a wildcard in a name such as *gles. It only brought up 3 Eagles, Tobias and Anne's burial and Elizabeth's marriage. So we are dealing with one family and it would confirm Anne is probably the widow (assuming she did not remarry).
I next took the film number for the extraction work and applied it to the FS catalog, which takes me here:
https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/462421?availability=Family%20History%20Library
So apparently the images are available, but only viewable in a family history branch library. We need to look at the actual image to confirm what the extraction does not tell us, i.e. was she the widow of Tobias and hopefully an age. The age would be good to establish her rough birth date.
I use the website maps.familysearch which shows the parish maps, when records begin, and can do radius searches of adjoining parishes. It also tells who had probate jurisdiction for each parish. Hollingbourne's records begin mid-1500s, and Stockbury parish records are mid 1600s, but their Bishops Transcript is mid-1500s. Both are under probate administration at Canterbury. Canterbury probates are all indexed at:
https://wills.canterbury-cathedral.org/
I am not seeing any Eagles or Wilding that would meet our criteria. If we found one, then it gives us the probate number and F/S has not digitized all wills for Canterbury. So this now leaves us with parish records more or less, but subsidy (tax) records are online and would need to be consulted.
I have never looked into the validity of Hadwin or Gladwin, and they may both be equally imaginative. In checking my own records, I see my own work into this is less than stellar.
