Kathy,
Your James in Biddenden always has interested me, as I have often wondered if he is an older brother to my Richard, born (around 1795) and buried in Cranbrook (a stone's throw from Biddenden).
You haven't determined the parents of James, and the other children from the marriage by chance?
I was in Cranbrook almost 20 years ago, but it has been my only visit. I didn't find the connection then, but only had three days there as part of a larger trip.
Great to hear from another Drowley researcher, as always.
Doug
