ARNOLD family from Sevenoaks

[JaneEliza]

Hello,

My G'grandfather, William ARNOLD, was born in Sevenoaks around 1841.
I am interested in finding out any information about him & his ancestors from that area. I think his father was probably also William ARNOLD. I understand the family were drapers. In the 1881 Census, they were visiting Essex, and I know that 2 sons were born in Yarmouth in 1881 & 1886 (my Grandfather, Ralph Josling ARNOLD), so perhaps they moved from Kent.

I am querying various parts of this family on some of the other forums here as seems appropriate, so my Kent queries are centered around William - his ancestors, immediate family, occupation, address etc. Any information, or direction is very welcome & appreciated.

Thanks,
Jane Eliza (nee ARNOLD), Australia
