Laslett family history

John and Elizabeth Laslett of West Marsh

John Laslett was baptised on 20 December 1691 at Ash near Sandwich the first child of Thomas Laslett, a yeoman of Hoden Farm, Ash, and his wife Mary Laslett née Curling (page 21).

On 6 October 1717 he married Elizabeth Keble of Ash by banns at Ash.

John was buried at Ash on 25 April 1722 as John Lacy of Westmarsh but no record has yet been found of Elizabeth's death.

We can only conjecture that the children remained at Ash. As they are mentioned in their grandfather's will but no special provision was made for them it would seem to indicate that they lived on at Hoden Farm cared for by their mother, grandparents, aunts and uncles.
