Greetings to all and best wishes for a peaceful 2003 I am Bruce Penfold I am at Christchurch, New Zealand where I and my father were born. My greatgrandfather Thomas emigrated from Ightham, Kent in 1878 with wife Elizabeth, 4 daughters and one son, Frank, my grandfather. I'm researching generally descendants of Richard Penfold(Penvill) (b Cranbrook 1724) and Mary Buss (greatgrandparents of Thomas above) who lived in the Goudhurst/Horsemonden/Cranbrook area. Thomas's father William (Goudhurst 1791) built the Bricklayers Arms in Goudhurst in the 1830's and this building remains today in restored condition. In particular I'm wanting information on descendants of Thomas's siblings - William (Horsemonden 1813 m Louisa & sons William 1858, Arthur 1860, Walter 1868, Frederick 1871 who all moved to London). James (Horsemonden 1816 m Agnes Smith then Elizabeth Bulpit - he died Shoreditch 1868 - & sons William 1841, Colville 1845, Robert 1848 & James 1851 also to London). David (Goudhurst 1820 & son Harry 1855 m Amelia Berwick). Emily (Goudhurst 1829 m Charles Humphrey & sons William 1858 & George 1863), Charles taking over the Bricklayers Arms in Goudhurst. Here's hoping! Bruce Penfold
