John Munn and Sophia Cuphis
my 3 x gt grandparents
John was born to John and Jane Munn in June 1781 at Darenth and baptized there three weeks later.
Sophia, daughter of
John and Elizabeth Cuphis, was baptized in February 1785 at Southfleet.
They were married at Longfield in October 1805 and lived in the Longfield /Horton Kirby area for a number of years and raised their family there. In 1829 their abode was 'Pinden' which is right on the boundary between the two parishes. In 1841 they were both servants living at Longfield Court and by 1851 they had moved to Swanscombe cutting where they were lodging with a John Hewitt (carpenter/joiner) and his family.
Sophia died in November 1853, and in 1861 John was living with their daughter Jane and her husband George Harper a victualler of the Blue Anchor in Swanscombe. John died in May 1863. John and Sophia are buried in Swanscombe churchyard.
