Hartley
Quite a few Duke's being found in Hartley, and I would think that they
are all related in some way or other, but I just haven't found the
connection yet, hence the different pages for the all. The other two being
the "Duke of
Kent," and the "Duke
William." There is also a "Duke
of York" in Cranbrook. "Duke's
Head."
Just to confuse matters even further, there is another "Hartley"
near Gravesend, and I think there is a pub there called the "Duke
of Cumberland."
