I can expand my tree on Anne Craddock side if I can make these changes. I do not add to or change MP without asking. You requested to collaborate with me earlier so any help will be appreciated

4. WADHURST (East Sussex)

The parrish of Wadhurst adjoins the Kentish boundary. Here begins with Thomas Bereham, in the year 1440, the earliest authentic and fully documented lineage of the Barham families of Wadhurst and of Maidstone and Boughton-Monchelsea in Kent.

Nicholas Barham, grandson of Thomas Bereham, and grandfather of Nicholas--the Queens Sergeant of Chillington Manor, Maidstone, was Church Warden of Wadhurst during the incumbency of John Browne, Vicar of Wadhurst, 1464 to 1487. Nicholas of Wadhurst was the father of John Barham, Iron Maker, who was born late in the 15th century.

He was one of the first and most successful of the Sussex Iron masters. His assessments in 1543 indicate he was by far the wealthiest inhabitant in Wadhurst at the time. He died about 1555.

The most remarkable feature of the church of St. Peter and St. Paul at Wadhurst is the large number of fine cast iron grave slabs on the floor. There are no less than 30 of these and they vary in date from 1617 to 1799. Of nine connected with the BARHAM family, several carry the BARHAM ARMS.

pp xii-xiv referenced in that source https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LHKC-YP8/nicholas-barham-1450... are not about this Nicholas

Also, the brief life history on that page https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LHKC-YP8/nicholas-barham-1450... doesn't have Anne duBois as his wife:

Brief Life History of Nicholas:When Nicholas Barham was born in 1450, in Boughton Malherbe, Kent, England, United Kingdom, his father, Richard Barham, was 26 and his mother, Agnes Bois, was 23. He married Anne Craddock in 1499, in Wadhurst, Sussex, England, United Kingdom. They were the parents of at least 1 son. He died on 25 July 1527, in Maidstone, Kent, England, United Kingdom, at the age of 77.

and the list of names underneath doesn't have Anne Craddock

I think we need to research these wives a bit more thoroughly

Found this

https://ancestors.familysearch.org

https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LHKC-YP8/nicholas-barham-1450

In viewing this sight Nicholas married Anne Craddock in 1499 and he married Anne DuBois in 1515 His son John My 12GGF was born in 1500 the year after he married Anne Craddock and 15 years before he married Anne DuBois. I am looking for any help in this matter. I am not a pro but when O see a possible expansion to my tree I like to find help in adding to it.

We're looking for their Sources, Paul. Anyone can upload anything they like to these sites (not excluding Geni), so it's important to verify where the information comes from.

I was referencing this site https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LHKC-YP8/nicholas-barham-1450... page when saying that I was trying to track down its sources..

It's an interesting area to work on. Also my direct family line.

Anne
The sight shows his wife as Anne Craddock in1499 in the breif history and list his latter wife
in the profiles as Anne duBois as his wife he married in 1515 The profile list his current wife while the brief history lissted the former wife since all his childred on his pprofile except one were born before 1515 they must be from his first wife. Thanks for looking into it Maybe we can get other feedback

Yes. It's very useful to get lots of people's help tracking sources.
