Steve & Pauline Jones’s Family History

The Parris Family of Wrotham, Kent

Pages 1 to 6 show the known descendants of John Parris and Jane Neville of Wrotham, Kent.  Pages 7 & 8 cover a Parris branch from the Offham and Ightham areas of Kent that we think (but can’t yet prove) are linked the other branches on this site. Variations in the surname’s spelling abound in the records e.g. Parrish, Paris. For consistency, the most common useage - Parris - is used throughout.  If you have a connection to any individual or family featured on this site, or if you want to leave us your feedback contact us.
