Kentish Gazette, 13 May 1851.
Fatal Accident.—Three Lives Lost.
On Tuesday evening last, a serious accident occurred in a sand pit in
Boxley parish, by which three persons lost their lives,
and several others narrowly escaped severe injury. On the evening in
question two of the deceased persons (a man and
woman named Culley), and the third, a man named Hughes, were in the pit,
engaged in their usual occupation, when a large
portion of the sand-bank gave way, burying the three persons named,
underneath. It is estimated that about two hundred
tons of the bank fell, and above fifty persons were anxiously and
laboriously engaged for a considerable time in extricating the
bodies of the deceased. A medical gentleman, Mr. Joy, of Maidstone, who
was sent for, pronounced all quite dead. An
inquest was held on the bodies on Thursday evening, at the "Chiltern
Hundreds Inn," Penenden Heath, before J. N. Dudlow,
Esq., the Coroner for West Kent. A most respectable jury was summoned,
and Mr. James Betts, farmer, was nominated
foreman. A verdict of "Accidental Death" was returned.

A CHILD IN A WATER TANK.
On Thursday afternoon, as a little girl named Pound, about a year and a
half old, whose parents reside in a cottage opposite the "Chiltern
Hundreds" public-house, Debtling-road, was at play near a rain water
tank, it pitched in head foremost. The mother of the child, who was in
the garden near where the accident occurred, immediately ran to the
spot, when she saw the child struggling in the water, which fortunately
was not of sufficient depth to drown the child. She, however,
immediately raised an alarm, and Mr. Hayward, the landlord of the
above-named house, having procured a ladder, with the assistance of the
neighbours, succeeded in rescuing the child from its perilous position.

BOXLEY. ACCIDENT.
On Sunday last, a little girl named Hayward, aged 16 months, whose
parents are the proprietors of the "Chiltern Hundreds" public-house,
Debtling-road, accidentally fell from an upper window, on to the porch
of a door, the height of about 9ft. The window from whence the child
fell, was on the landing of the second stair case, and the mother on
passing, had noticed it being open, but not sufficient to cause her any
alarm for the child's safety, however, in a few minutes afterwards the
child ran to the window, and succeeded in further opening it. The mother
on hearing the window open, immediately ran to look for her child, when
she perceived it had fallen out of the window. A person who was in the
garden at the time, saw the accident, and stated that the child pitched
out head foremost, turning a somersault before alighting, thus saving
its head. The porch of the door being covered with lead, (which being of
a soft nature) no doubt was of great assistance to the young lady on her
arriving on "terra firma." We are happy to state the child escaped
uninjured. If was not long since we had to record an accident to a
neighbour's child who had fallen into a water tank, but was fortunate in
escaping with only a severe drenching. No blame was attributable to the
parents in either case.

The census's mentioning the various John Hayward's seem to suggest some
erroneous ages, so it's difficult knowing how many there actually are.
The 1861 census suggests 28 years old.
The 1871 census suggests born in 1803 and 68 years old
The 1881 census suggests born in 1839 and 42 years old
The 1901 census suggests born in 1833 and 68 years old, this tallies with
the 1861 census.
