RESEARCH NOTES
- last name originally entered as Mayward - may be a typo - original source says Hayward

- As their first son Thomas Boorman was born 17 Oct 1684, less than 9 months after their marriage, this was suggested as a reason for the parents' marriage, and for it happening in a different parish, across the border in Sussex.

- another source lists has this Elizabeth dying as a girl, buried 11 Apr 1664 Cranbrook, Kent. Also shows her sister, another Elizabeth [L6GS-KRV], being born 1664 in Cranbrook and marrying a Richard Hodgkins 30 Oct 1694 in Biddenden and having 5 children (Thomas, Richard, William, Elizabeth and Richard). No sources listed or since found. Check out father Robert Hayward’s will as a possible source for the name Hodgkins, but could not find any such reference.

- The 1684 probate of her father Robert Heyward (will dated 1680) lists wife Margaret and children William, Elizabeth, Judith and Elizabeth - only 1 Elizabeth. The will also implies (but doesn't declare outright) that Elizabeth, Judith and Isaac had not yet reached the age of 24. [The will summary included this clause: "Elizabeth Heyward, daughter, 1 part within 6 month of father's death or when she turns 24 and not before".] In 1680, the critical year of birth would be 1656. Elizabeth's 1655 baptism date would make her a little bit older by about a year. If this clause was taken as a true indication of her age, someone might therefore assume there was a later Elizabeth born and the older one died young. But the clause allows for the eventuality of a child being both under or over the age of 24. It is not clear cut. So we are giving it the benefit of the doubt and are open to the possibility that the age clauses might have been standard for single children mentioned in wills and it could still apply to someone over 24.

- Hartley is a village one mile southwest of Cranbrook in Kent, England. Hartley lies on the A229. ... It is about 4km north of Hawkhurst

On 27 May 1684 when Elizabeth was 29, she married Thomas BOORMAN, son of William BOORMAN & Sarah, in St Peter & St Paul, Wadhurst, Sussex, England. Born on 24 Feb 1666/67 in Hawkhurst, Kent, England. Christened in 1666/67 in Hawkhurst, Kent, England. Thomas died in Cranbrook, Kent, England, in Jul 1698; he was 31. Buried on 15 Jul 1698 in Cranbrook, Kent, England.

- 1666/67 baptism from the Hawhurst parish records KFHS CD:
“The baptism of Thomas BOREMAN, son of William and Sarah is shown at Hawkhurst in 1666/1667 (no precise date) but date of birth is given as 24 Feb. William is the same, date 1664 and date of birth 21 Apr. Mary is there, baptised 11 May 1662 born 27 Apr but just William given as father. Now, this is new to me, I found the baptism of Elizabeth BOREMAN on 20 Feb 1652/53 with William as father and a note of "civil war period"”

RESEARCH NOTES
- Other trees list siblings for Thomas Boorman: Mary 1662, William 1664 and Sara 1675.

- Speculation only that they also had a son John Boorman who married Ester Meopham???

- As their first son Thomas Boorman was born 17 Oct 1684, less than 9 months after their marriage, this "development" likely prompted their marriage and its location in a different parish, across the border in Sussex.

- familysearch id KVJB-VGM by matthewpurves1 shows him married to Elizabeth Hayward
OR familysearch id M9SS-28C shows no marriage, birth 24 Feb 1667)); also PRF submission id MMD8-NBX

From other researchers:
- Thomas Boorman (1666??-1698), husbandman of Hartley in Cranbrook, who you mention as the son of William Boorman of Hawkhurst. I think this is unlikely because there are some better candidates:
> There is Thomas the son of Thomas and Ann [Iden] Boorman, baptised Cranbrook in 1662
> or Thomas the son of John and Ann Boorman, baptised Cranbrook in 1646 (probably too early).
> But his most likely father is John Boorman of Hartley, Cranbrook who was buried in 1681.
Thomas (1666??-1698) may well have been a nonconformist as there is no record of his children's baptisms in the C of E registers, and his son William (c.1692-1771) was a lifelong member of the Baptist Chapel at Headcorn.
John Boorman of Hartley (?-1681) was possibly a nonconformist because there is no record of any of his children in the registers. However, you can avoid the Church of England but you can't avoid the taxman. In the Cranbrook ratebooks a John Boorman paid rates for a house and land in Hartley up to 1680 when he disappears, and from 1681 onwards 'our' Thomas Boorman (1666??-1698) pays rates for the same property. It is likely (but not certain) that Thomas would have been of full age (over 21) at this time or a trustee or guardian would have been named instead. John (?-1681) does not appear to have left a will, so the most likely explanation is that the property was inherited by his son Thomas.

They had the following children:

120i.

Thomas BOORMAN (1684-~1757)

121ii.

William BOORMAN (1692-1771)

122iii.

Elizabeth BOORMAN (~1693-~1725)

RESEARCH NOTES
- 1684 NOT listed in his father Robert Hayward’s will - so did he die before the willl was made in 1680, or did they have a falling out?

- We think it was another James who married a Susanna, and had children Susanna, Elizabeth and James
