Agnes Bourne (Bates) - Virtually Identical Data

Hi Ken,

You make a good point… and it’s something I should look into, just need to find the time to do so…. If I can

Quote: "03 Jan 1623 The wife of Bartho. Bourne. Church" points to one source that may apply to the wife of Bartholomew Bourne. Until this data is made available as online as an image of the original document, discerning more is at an impasse.

I don't find anything to support a maiden name of Bates except ancestral trees, which of themselves are not sources:—

Seeing Lydden as birthplace being about 78 mi or 125 km from London doesn't jive. It's not impossible that Bartholomew's wife was born in Lydden and moved to London. But there's no historical record or a marriage record that I can find showing from where she came or was born,
I think Lydden as birthplace is insupportable until proven otherwise.
To add to the skepticism is the empty outcome from a general search for Bates as Surname on FamilySearch. No such surname comes up in Lydden.

As for Margaret Bourne , county Kent is not a hotbed for persons surnamed Ryse circa 1560 –
