Hi
My Larkin family moved from Cranbrook to Horsmonden in about 1780.  What period are you interested in?
Do remember to post your surnames on the Rootschat Surname Interests Table. :)

Hi Dez
I have some extracts from the Cranbrook PRs and this may be of interest
Marriage 10 Feb 1834 Charles Larkin to Sarah Dadson
Witnesses John Larkin and John Waters
This seems to fit with the 1841 census information - oldest child of Charles and Sarah aged 7.
Will see if I have anything else - unfortunately the baptisms I have only go up to 1805.
I am fairly certain there will be a link with my Larkins.

It may be worth asking for a look up for Charles' baptism on the Kent Request Board. If we can establish who his father was I can probably get you back a bit further.
