(OP)
If I have 2 7ah 12V batteries wired in series, am I correct in assuming that I will get 24V and 14ah? Sorry if that's a stupid question...

If you only have a 12V charger you must connect the batteries in parallel. Charging time depends on the current your charger can supply and what is a reasonable rate for the battery in question. If your charger has a maximum or limited current then it will be divided between the two batteries so the charging time for the pair is doubled.

Re the amp hours;
12 volts at 14 amp/hrs = 168 watt hours.
24 volts at 7 amp hours = 168 watt hours.

Also, the 2 12v batteries are connected in series, and to my knowledge, are identical....

So I'm looking at charging a 7ah 24V battery with a 24V 3A charger.....
