I am researching this branch of the family along with other threads of the Kent family. The earliest details I have is a John Norley who was born in Wye. This is not a 100% at present but I am pretty sure. They pass through Lenham/Maidstone and then onwards to various places after this mostly in and around London. Please contact me by all means as I have quite a bit of information that would be of interest to you and I am most interested in any modern descendants of the family.
