Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Chevening Parish lookup - Boakes

The Boakes are my wife's maternal line, her family came from Sevenoaks Weald. The two couples caused confusion to start with, but we think the wood dealer was Thomas b.1784 Chiddingstone who married Sarah Leigh and lived at Ide Hill.
Sarah Oliver died 1851 and was buried in Sevenoaks 27/4/1851.
In the census entries, Thomas is consistently shown as born c.1792 Chevening but we have been unable to verify this. He married Sarah Oliver in Tonbridge which has led my wife to believe that he may now be the son of John Boakes and Sarah Couchman b.1792 in Chiddingstone.
Unfortunately we don't have any DNA results.
