    Notes 
    • Witness at St Lawrence Thanet on 18 October 1819 and at St John Thanet on 13 May 1822.

      The following note is copied from the record of Johan Honicke, Ickham section (qv):
      The identity of this Sarah Minter is uncertain. At first I thought she was probably Harriet's mother Sarah, originally Sarah Emptage, then married to David Holness (Harriet's father) and finally married to Henry Belsey Minter. However, Sarah Emptage was born about 1776 so would have been about 75 (not 57) in 1851 and, as Cliff Minter points out, it seems unlikely that Sarah would have travelled to London at such an age, to be returned to Wingham seven years later to be buried.
      Another possibility is that Sarah was the Sarah Minter born of Henry Minter and Sarah (Philpott) on 4 April 1794 and christened at St John's Thanet on 11 May 1794. 1794 would tally exactly with the age attributed to Sarah Minter in 1851. There are two objections to this idea. Firstly, Sarah is shown in the 1851 census as a widow - Cliff Minter suggests this may have been simply because Sarah did not want to be identified as a spinster. Secondly, there is no known connection between Henry Minter and Sarah (Philpott) (who belong to the 'Ash Minters') and Harriet Honicke nee Minter of the 'Ickham Minters'.
