I make no claim regarding the accuracy of this chart; the original sources are not free from error and a degree of guesswork is involved in genealogy. Last revision: 25/1/2000 Ackers entries in the IGI prior to 1700 are concentrated at Cranbrook (1566 on), on the Sussex border, due north of Hastings, Canterbury (1564 on) and nearby Chilham (1575 on) and Willesborough (1575 on), about two miles south-east of Ashford, in central Kent. There are no further records of the family in the Willesborough area after 1721. Reference numbers are denoted by [..]'s and are listed at the end of each section (seperated by a line of *'s). Numbering begins anew with each section. 13. William Acres, born about 1550, probably in the area of Willesborough, Kent.[1] Married unknown. Children of William Ackers: i.
