First of all, they never turned over their records to the LDS for microfilming.  I've been told that this was for theological reasons. 

You will find that a lot of Kent parishes refused to allow the LDS access to their registers, as the clergy, quite understandably, did not approve of their reasons for wanting them (NOT for the benefit of us family historians!).

The copy in the local library will be a transcription - possibly the one from which the KFHS fiche was produced or may be a set of the fiche.

Canuk, as I mentioned above, the registers are at Canterbury Cathedral Archives.  They have all those for East Kent except Ash by Sandwich

Parishes in Canterbury Archdeaconry
The Cathedral Archives holds records for all parishes currently in the Archdeaconry of Canterbury, except for those for Ash next Sandwich, which are retained in the church.

http://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/history/catalogues.htm

According to a list I have (1991) the Graveney registers at Canterbury Cathedral Archives include baptisms 1653-1913, marriages 1654-1837, burials 1653-1812, banns 1754-1813 and 1824-1915.  BTs 1564-1911.  The centre for Kentish Studies and the Society of Genealogists have copies of burials 1813-1837.

How do you know what "old" parish a village was in?

Kent OPC has a full index of Parishes with maps linked to each.  You can find the parish you are interested in, click on the map link and see where it is located in Kent and what is near by.

http://www.kent-opc.org/regdistricts.html

Hope that helps for future research.
