Personal Notes:

Her father's will establishes that she married a George Osborne. The marriage is very probable that recorded as George Osbourn of Lydden to Mercy Cullen of St Lawrence on 29 Apr 1717 St Mary Bredman, Canterbury. The register definitely has Cullen but this likely to be a mishearing of Curling. Her children were baptised at Lydden.
