My Kent Surnames

[djcrtoye]

I wonder if any body could help me with the following surnames:
Pope
Waterfield
Scarterfield.

All seem to come from the Chatham area of Kent.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

djcrtoye,

I know I have seen records for various Popes in the CityArk (Medway Ancestors) parish registers.  Since my Sarah Pope said she was born in the London area, I haven't made note of the records but the name always pops out at me.

Hi there,
Sorry to say that we donīt share the same Popes.

Mine originated from Somerset in the 1700īs and moved to Devon in the early 1800īs then on to Tonbridge, kent in the late 800īs.

Sorry I canīt help.
