thanks for all your replies, it's great to feel welcome!
re the Cheesemans, they came from the Boxley and Burham areas, I don't know whether these villages might have been in the Sittingbourne registration district at some point?
the Goldfinch connection has proved to be a false trail, my great grandfather used the name as an alias when he deserted from the army, I managed to find his army records and the family name is actually Brown, so I doubt we have a connection there.
