Thomas Rogers Wickenden (1853 -1924) married Ida Consaul (1855 - 1927) and was the father of 8 children. In the section of this website titled Thomas R Wickenden Families, pictures, information and chapters of a memoir written by these 8 children are provided along with information on five generations of their descendants.
Wickenden families originated in Cowden, Kent, England. Now they live in over a dozen countries. Who are these families? Where do they live? How are they related? Why, when, how did they emigrate from England? Who has continued to live in England and the UK? How have their families grown, and how have they lived? How have they endured, what are their lives like now, and how do they see the future - for their countries and for our world? These are some of the questions that will be answered as Wickenden families contribute their stories (Please Do!) to this section of the website, to the Wickenden Wikitree (a collaborative family tree), and to the map of Wickendens Around the World.

William Wickenden (c. 1614–1671) was an early Anglo-American Baptist minister, co-founder of Providence Plantations, and signer of the Providence Compact. Wickenden Street in Providence marks where he originally settled in the seventeenth century and is named in his honor.[1]
John comes from a branch of the family going back to George Wickenden (born 1770). The line then passes to another George (b 1820), then Frederick (b 1856), then Ernest (b 1884), then Bernard (my father b 1924). The family also believe they originated in Cowden and there were many family connections to Tunbridge Wells, Kent until the last war.
