Hi, Don't know whether this info is of any use to you at all, but i was looking at my family tree on my fathers side and came across some research that someone did for us in the 1980's. The research was done entirely through parish records in and around  Kemsing and Seal in Kent, and without the benefit of computers, so is a bit patchy. I was interested in your enquiry because the earliest ancestor i have a record of, is a William Waghorn who was a farm bailiff born in Shipbourne, Kent 1802 and died in 1868, i noticed a William Waghorn, Bailiff in your post. There is also a Charles Waghorn listed, born in 1865 at Kemsing, Kent.  He married in 1892, a lady called Alice Fanny Russell.  And they had 7 children.  the fourth of which was a Charles Ernest Waghorn born in 1899.  We have no record of Charles other than his date of birth (22.1.1899). The Waghorn family in Kent is massive, and there are many many strands, which it seems stem from William, but anyway i hope this helps.
