Can anyone help regarding LACEY ancestors who were understood to have been working and residing at Leeds Castle, Leeds, Kent.
The Lacey's were living at Leeds from about 1650 to about 1800's. Employed at the Castle - dates unknown. I was wondering if anyone might be specialising in the history of the Castle and have access to Staff records. The only info are the names Thomas and Anne, John and Elizabeth, Edward and Mercy, William and Mary, Thomas and Hannah.
Other surnames of interest are Ditcher, Cloke, Collison, Waghorn, Kitney and Gilbert. They may have been fellow servants and nature took it's course etc. Any information at all about staffing in Leeds Castle would be so appreciated.

A couple of websites that might help.
There is a KITNEY family website:

There is an index to marriages in the area:
