Trying to find Austen

Seeking descendants of my great grandfather, Harry Austen, Gunmaker, born c. 1840 in Wye Kent. In 1881 was living in Deptford St. Paul Kent with wife and 7 children: Albert 13, Harry 12, Walter 9, Edwin 8, Thomas 6 [my grandfather], Elizabeth 4, Alfred 1. Have found his widow and some of the children on the 1901 census - still all in the South London area but some spelling their name Austin. My dad was an only child and his father never mentioned having any siblings so my 4 brothers and I are not aware of having any Austen relatives. Do I have any distant relations out there? Thanks.
