I have found a Rayfield HARDS while researching my RAYFIELD history. I have a photo of the gravestone, from St Mary's East Farleigh.

Kent Archaelogogy has a list of M.I.s at St Marys church graveyard, East Farleigh:

http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Re...arleigh/01.htm

- which includes a John RAYFIELD - and a Rayfield HARDS.

Some inscriptions are no longer legible, but fortunately records of these are kept (on their website) from a period when they WERE legible (1850s?).

The enthusiastic webmaster for East Farleigh - (Adam Palmer) - provided me with two gravestone photos, one containing a Rayfield HARDS (one of whom is strangely NOT recorded in the MIs, but whose name can be plainly seen in the photograph) - so if someone is looking for that name, for their family records, I have the photo, kindly produced by Adam.

To 'fly' over (East Farleigh) St Mary's church graveyard - through 360 degrees:

(There's also a brief history on the website - from 40 BC - of East Farleigh, once known as Ferlaga in the Domesday Book, also Fearnlega in 1300, and East Farly in 1575).
