G'day Judith, You don't say where you are which means an answer has to be more general. By giving a general location of where you are (such as the nearest big town), you can often get more specific advice tailored to your needs). On the Family Search website (which contains the IGI among other databases), you'll also find the Library Catalogue. By doing a place search for Benenden, you'll see that they Parish Registers for Benenden are with the Kent Archive Service. This means you have two options. One is to visit the Kent Archives if you live near enough to them. The second is to order a copy of the microfilm into your local LDS family history library which you can do for a nominal sum (to cover their post and packing charges). When it arrives at the library, you'll be notified and then you can make arrangements to visit the LDS library and read the film.
