    John Hand m. Elizabeth Gransden 24th Apr. 1634"

    This posting includes parish records extracted by Sydney Smith as well as his notes farther down, interspersed with bits of a tree created (presumably by Donna Edwards) based on the parish records.

    The notes indicate there are no records for the name "Hand" in the Tonbridge or Stansted parish records in the early 1600's, other than the baptism of John Hand in 1634/5 (which he accidentally says was 1734/5 in the notes). He also notes, in respect to the first name of the bride, that he did not check the original Sundridge registers but relied on a transcript at the Society of Genealogists Library, and adds "it could be that Alice's name was recorded wrongly as Elizabeth either in the transcript, or even in the originals at the time."
