Could you tell us when Harry and Maude lived?

Have you seen the book "Upon Quarry Hills" A History of Boughton Monchelsea by Paul Hastings.  It mentions many local people.

You will need to buy credits and look for Harry on the 1911 census as it is strictly pay per view

It will give you his parents names and you can then check freebmd for a marriage for them

You can also check freebmd for a Bishenden/Farrant marriage
