Hi Ted. Have just seen your message re Hooker of Jewell House, Marden, Kent. Although not of my own line (north Cornwall),
I understand from Kevin Hooker of New Zealand
that the Marden family traces from 17th century Thomas Hooker of Oldbury Hill, Ightham (his son John sherrif of Kent 1712).The ancestors of Thomas came from Hampshire, England.
I understand that Kevin Hooker, whose ancestor Stephen Hooker emigrated to NZ in 1859, is the "expert" on this branch of the Hookers. Unfortunately I only have an old address for him. It is Kevin Hooker c/- Hookers Bookbinding, 43 Brown Street, Ponsonby, Auckland. Hope this is of some use to you.
