Grt Grandfather W..E Orpin Living At Fawkham Village Kent,

A Memory of Dartford.

I don't particularly have a memory as such. My great grandfather William Edward Orpin, lived at Hill Barn, Fawkham Village, Kent, Rural District of Dartford, Ecclesiastical Parish of St. Mary's in 1901. I have only just discovered this on Ancestry, and I am trying to find where Hill Barn is. He was a shepherd and I am wondering if anyone has any information on the above. My great grandfather died in 1936, in West Malling, Kent. One of his daughters, Emma, was my grandmother and she came out to Australia in 1908. I am from Sydney, Australia. Regards, Tracey.

Hi, Hill Barn Farm is up a steep hill on the right just after Penis Lane, Penis lane is the third road on the left as if you were driving up from Longfield towards Fawkham .

The current Orpin family still run a builders business in Ash in the New Ash Green area of Kent .

Hope this helps you from Kelvin Curtis Postman in Fawkham 1966 to 1989

I hope you receive this Kelvin Curtis. I would like to thank you for your information on Hill barn Farm etc.
I do know of the Orpin Family who runs the building business in Ash, have emailed them a couple of times.
Not to sure about the name of the Lane (which is the third road on the left), had a chuckle about that one.

Thanks again Kelvin.

Tracey,
