Thanks to all for this information and Ann and Detective for including the Family Search entries.
I think that as Oare and Orlestone are both on the same film (1736929) it could be either, but by looking at the Bishops Transcripts under the Kent.OPC link advised by Potty it is almost certain that the correct parish is Orlestone and has been "mis-indexed" for Family Search.
I will look at the original film either locally in Cardiff at the LDS centre or plan a visit to Ashford s suggested.

Thank you all once again
Alan

Oare comes under Faversham

Orlestone comes under East Ashford

Family Search says that the Lonkhurst/Longhurst children were christened in Oare in Kent, but two other sources quoted several years ago said Orlestone.
They are the children of John and Sarah Lonkhurst as follows
Ann 8/11/1767,
Jane 21/1/1770
Elizabeth 19/7/1772,
Susanna 20/11/1774
Catherine 22/6/1777
Richard 2/2/1780
I have not been able to find the records on other sites. Can anyone confirm the correct parish for me please? Or where can I find the information myself.
Thank you
Alan
