Hello John There was a Walter Penfold born 16 April 1827 and baptised 13 May 1827 The Chapel on the Hill Cranbrook the son of Thomas Penfold and Mary Leigh who could be the one you are looking for. Thomas Penfold married Mary Leigh 13 September 1807 Cranbrook, Kent and they had the following children: Thomas Leigh/Penfold - Baptism: 13 April 1806, Cranbrook, Kent. William Penfold - Baptism: 31 July 1808, Cranbrook, Kent. Sarah Penfold - Baptism: 6 May 1810, Cranbrook, Kent. George Penfold, born Abt. 1813 in Milton, Kent.. Robert Penfold, born 17 March 1816 in Cranbrook, Kent.; Baptism 27 April 1819 The Chapel on the Hill, Cranbrook, Kent .died April 1855. Elizabeth Penfold, born 5 September 1818. - Baptism: 27 April 1819, The Chapel on the Hill, Cranbrook. Kent. Stephen Penfold, born 16 April 1821; Baptism 27 May 1821 The Chapel on the Hill, Cranbrook, Kentdied 4 December 1885 in Deptford. Rachel Penfold, born 1824.- Baptism: 1 April 1824 Walter Penfold, born 16 April 1827.- Baptism: 13 May 1827, The Chapel on the Hill, Cranbrook. Kent. At one stage I thought that my John Penfold was the brother of this Thomas but later found that he had been born too early, that is why I have the information on this family. If this is the right line it goes back: John Penfold & Sarah Sprange marr 5 Nov 1777 - Hawkhurst Richard Penville & Elizabeth Buss marr 14 Nov 1751 - Cranbrook Richard Penvill & Anne xxxxx Thomas Penvill & Elizabeth Welland Marr 18 Aug 1691 - Maidstone Thomas Penvell & Alise Burges Marr 22 Jan 1666/67 - Maidstone If you think this is the correct Walter you will find there are quite a few members who are descended from this line on the PENFOLD list so you should be able to link up with them. I hope this helps. Best wishes Joy Hurst
