Possible birth is 25 Dec 1734 - St John, Margate, Kent, England -Father: John CULMER Mother: Susanne (IGI Index batch 8403233 )
Marriage record shows Susanna to be from Strood at the time of hermarriage in 1756.
An email in 2012 suggested a possible connection with ancestors ofSusanna Cullmer and the Isle of Thanet which has featured in Wickendenfamily legend (that the Wickendens owned it at one time - noconfirmation of this). Vikings occupied it at one time - some withthe surname Kulmer (i.e. Wolfric Kulmer).
There is a marriage listing of a WICKINDEN, John, on 23 Dec 1777, inStrood Near Rochester, Kent, England to a Catharine WELLS. Could thisbe our John? [Ken Watson, 2001]
