William Parker, licensee 1891+ (until about 1900) was grandfather of my mother’s first cousins. Their mother was Eleanor Parker, born in Bredhurst on 7/2/1889. *
William’s wife was born Eleanor Stanger and was from the family at the Lower Bell on Bluebell Hill, Aylesford. The Parkers moved there from Bredhurst by 1901 when Eleanor is a widow.
I have photos of several people including William Parker and a couple of the Lower Bell.
I also have family members connected with the Tiger’s Head/Tiger in Dartford, the Chequers in Darenth, The Fox and Hounds, Lane End, Darenth and, perhaps, some others. The names involved are Martin, Barnett and Mackney.
