RESEARCH NOTES
- freeREG: No baptism for Sarah Boorman in St Peter & St Paul Dymchurch in or around 1829. There was a Sarah in Dymchurch 1821, daughter of William and Sarah. FreeREG coverage in Kent is incomplte - 57 BMB records for Sarah Boormans listed in all of Kent todate, but none in 1829.

FMP lists a lot of deaths / burials for Sarah Boorman including 4 entries for Sarah Ann Boorman :
born 1828 buried 1844 Kent
born 1827, died 1891 Kent
born 1829 died 1891 buired 1891 Hollingbourne Kent
born 1829 died 1891 buried 1891 Maidstone.
No others list birth days. Nor records at all for baptisms

There is only 1 marriage for a Sarah Boorman in Romney Marsh RD in 1846 when this Sarah was about 17:

Could this be a match, even though her birth locaiton is off and middle initial unexpected?

RESEARCH NOTES
From other researchers:
- Claimed to be the daughter of George Boorman (1800) [elsewhere in this tree] and Susannah ? George said to be the son of William Boorman (1771) and Elizabeth Wood (1770), and the grandson of William Boorman and Anne Weller etc.
- 14 Children listed (all Smith):
> Marianne E,
> ?(boy),
> Derrick,
> Cran (son),
> Thomas 1865
> Rachel 1867
> Charles 1870
> George 1871
> Douglas 1874
> Louis 1876
> Frederick 1876
> Richard 1878
> Edward 1881
> Arthur 1886

- Another family tree Ancestral file submission - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/3SXG-9DJ - has more detail and more sources for Rachel and her parents George Boorman (born abt 1793 Headcorn) and Susannah Reesby (abt 1808 Wingham Kent). In spite of the different birth for George, this tree also claims his parents to be William Boorman and Elizabeth Wood. They list 13 children for Rachel, with further descendants for 7 of them.
They cite the 1841, 1851, 1861 (all in Dymchurch) and ancestry trees as sources for George. But the 1861 census shows the George (age 60) with wife Suzannah living in Dymchurch (as above) - so where did the birth year of “abt 1793” come from? Looking in more detail, this tree has 2 sons named George, both born to William Boorman and Elizabeth Wood: 1) George (abgt 1793-<1871) and 2: George (1800-1879) - this is most unusual (although perhaps not unheard of) but stretches believability. The baptism they have for the Geoge in 1800 is for the other George, s/o Samuel and Elizabeth (see George’s notes). I think there is a mixup here and everyone is having similar troubles with this lineage.

- See also the Dickins/Smith Family Tree by Oysterdredger on ancestry: 13 children listed
On 19 Jul 1863 when Rachel was 19, she married Thomas McRobert SMITH in Canterbury St Mary Northgate, Kent, England. Born in 1836 in Glasgow St Paul, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Thomas McRobert died in Canterbury St Mary Northgate, Kent, England, on 22 Jan 1911; he was 75.

- Son of William McRobert [Smith?] (1809-1858) and Ellison or Allison Crawford (1817-1858) - father and 3 siblings used the last name McRobert. So why did Thomas go by Smith?
