Verification & Concerns Returns to 'Top of Page'

  1. The parish record microfiche for Matthew shows 'Mathew sonne of --- Wicken & Jane'. It is therefore conjecture that this is Robert but it fits it with Roberts father being Matthew so is likely to be correct. There were no other records for Wickings in Worth so the family was only there temporaily. In addition Ann Wicking is shown as child of Robert & Jane.
  2. There are a variety of names used instead of Wicking. These are all felt to be spelling variations. The names identified are: Wicken, Wickinge, Wickens, Wickyng, Wekyhge, Weekyng, Weckynge, Weeknge, Weekinge, Weekyn, Weking, Wyking, Wycking, Wykinge. There are Wickenden's in East Grinstead & Cowden, but these have been excluded as considered another name.
