Need Advice on connecting HEDGES brothers #2

[Nennefer]

   Blimey......... I'm def lost now

      Don't know what to look for

Me too Sue, no worries. I will have to go through all the posts tomorrow as not home so can't log anything.
I think I just may be related to every HEDGES in Kent, Sussex, Essex, Surrey, London and all the traveller families in the south east of England. Well that's what it is starting to feel like. Shall we scream in unison. Ahhhhh

Here's another couple of children of John Arnold and Maria Sophia Hedges:

ESTHER <ARNOL>
     Female         
         
Event(s):
   Birth:
   Christening:     
31 MAY 1863      Saint Paul, Chatham, Kent, England
   Death:
   Burial:
         
Parents:
     Father:     JOHN ARNOL    
     Mother:     MARY SOPHIA


ESTHER <ARNOLD>
     Female         
         
Event(s):
   Birth:
   Christening:     
28 JAN 1866      Saint Paul, Chatham, Kent, England
   Death:
   Burial:
         
Parents:
     Father:     JOHN ARNOLD
     Mother:     MARY SOPHIA    
   

They will be useful. Thanks James. I'm guessing the first Esther died and the second replaced her.

James you seem to be very knowledgable about the Medway area and the traveller families are you a local.
My Husband remembers some Arnold's from school they had a fearsome reputation in the Medway area.

No, I'm from Wiltshire and have never been to Kent, as far as I am aware.

However, I've come across some Yeowells in Ightham but they seem unrelated.

Having been researching for 18 years or so, you learn where certain surnames are prevalent.

Deb, these are different Hedges/Arnold marriages.

There's more than one of them it seems.

Going off topic for a moment.
My husband wants to know If you have found any areas where the names WADHAMS and WATT are prevalent. I said as they are not traveller families you possibly don't.  But I said I would ask so I have.

Yoewell Is not a name I have heard before, Is it a traveller name.
