Isaac Barnett b. 1821 in either Westerham or Cowden in Kent or Hatfield in Sussex dies in Westerham in 1906. In his will he mentions his adoptive son Archibald Barnett Saunders. Archibald is living with Isaac in the 1881 census, as just Archibald Saunders, b 1873, Kingsland Middlesex, a boarder. There is a possibility that Isaac is the son of James Barnett b. 1791 from Brasted in Kent.
Meanwhile in 1845 in Westerham, Philip Barnett is born, the illegitimate child of Sarah Barnett and James Saunders. Sarah and James later marry in 1850. Sarah was born in Brasted in 1820, the daughter of Thomas Barnett, who was the brother of the above-mentioned James.
I cannot find a birth for Archibald Saunders. I would doubt that he is the child of Sarah and James as she would have been about 53 when he was born. Philip, who married in 1868 didn't have any children (according to the 1911 census). Is there a connection between these two that anyone can find, and can anyone find Archibalds birth?
Thanks
