Hesther was baptised at the church of St John the Baptist, Meopham on 6th August 1769.

1.1.1.2.1.10  ~~  Thomas Couchman Alchin

Thomas was baptised at the church of St John the Baptist, Meopham on 15th February 1771. His name derives from his great-uncle, Thomas Couchman, who was the witness at his father's first marriage in 1755. Thomas Couchman had married Thomas' kinswoman Mary Alchin at Aylesford in 1736.

Thomas Couchman Alchin moved to Marylebone in London and married Mary (surname unknown). They had nine children – Thomas (1810), George (1812), John (1814), James (1816), Mary (1818), Samuel and William (1822), Hannah (1832) and Sarah. All nine of the children of Thomas and Mary are mentioned in the will of Cassandra Alchin (Casina Alchin ?) dated 1855.

Thomas was a silk manufacturer of Merton in Surrey and he took out a fire insurance policy on his premises with the Sun Insurance Company on 22nd June 1830. It appears that Thomas became a bankrupt and this was probably why he moved to Canada. His bankruptcy was mentioned in his brother Francis' will dated 1830 and for this reason his estate was left to Thomas' wife and children. The will clearly states that Thomas was living at Merton in Surrey (where his nephew William Alchin, later of Northampton, was born). The will makes it very clear that Francis did not have a very high regard for his brother.

Thomas moved with his family to Canada probably in the mid 1830s. According to the will of his sister Cassandra Alchin, Thomas had died and his widow was living at Wilmot in western Canada. He was probably the same man whose will was probated at Wilton, Ontarion on 8th June 1844 (M638 Reel 37). Thomas and Mary are both buried in the Old Paris cemetery in Brant County, Ontario.

1.1.1.2.1.10.1  ~~  Thomas Alchin

Thomas was baptised at Marylebone, London on 12th December 1810. Thomas emigrated to Canada with his family in the 1830's and he was left a share of his aunt's house at Limehouse when she died in 1856. Thomas may have married Harriett; she was born in Enhland in 1830. Thomas and Harriett had at least two children – Amy (1856) and Thomas (1859).

Thomas was buried (at an unknown date) in the Old Paris cemetery in Brant County, Ontario. This must have happened around 1860 as Harriett had emigrated to the United States and married William Millhand by 1861. She had at least five more children to William Millhand by the time of the 1870 US census when he was recorded as a farmer and he and his wife, their five children and her two children from her first marriage were living at Ridgeway, Orleans County, New York.

Note: This link is not proven and requires further research. Harriett may instead have been the wife of Thomas' youngest brother William Alchin (born 1822)!

1.1.1.2.1.10.1.1  ~~  Amy Alchin

Amy was born in Canada in 1856. She emigrated to the United States in 1861 settling in New York State. The 1870 US census records that Amy was living with William and Harriett Millhand (her mother and stepfather possibly) at Ridgeway, Orleans County.

1.1.1.2.1.10.1.2  ~~  Thomas Alchin

Thomas was born in Canada in January 1859. He emigrated (possibly with his mother Harriett who remarried) to the United States in 1861 and settled in New York State. The 1870 US census records that the school boy was living with William and Harriett Millhand (her mother and stepfather possibly) at Ridgeway, Orleans County.

The 1880 census records that Thomas was an unmarried farm servant for Douglas and Cora Waters at Ridgeway. Thomas married Emma Fisher in 1885; she was born in New York in June 1862.
