Find Ancestors

Trying to find parents of Henry Feakins born 1812 in Milton near Sittingbourne, Kent. The Feakins have been concentrated in this part of Kent for centuries and every other male seems to be named Henry. Can't find a birth or baptism for him although I have his marriage to Elizabeth Watler in 1833 and have found him on various census returns. Milton seems to be an area that covered several parishes with numerous churches. Is there anyway I can narrow it down. Any help much appreciated.

1881 - just for reference

Henry FEAKINS Head M Male 69 Milton, Kent, England Porter
Elizabeth FEAKINS Wife M Female 67 Margate, Kent, England

Thanks Anne I have this one. His year of birth is calculated from the census returns which I already have and I am aware it may not be correct but he was literate so it's probably fairly accurate.

Thankyou Anne. I have a great long list of Feakins going back to late 1600's in Kent and I'm sure they are all related to my missing Henry but without his parents names I can't find the link. Will check out the churches you have given me and see if I can find anything there. Thanks for your help. The spelling doesn't help. I've found them under Figgins, Fikins, Feekins, Freakins and many more.

HI Gwynn,
