If you google, you should get the info from one of the online maps.

Interesting.....
This afternoon I checked Hythe baptisms on film at the library.
Your family were in Hythe in 1827 and 1831 having children baptised...but from what you say,flitted off to Tenterden in between for the baptism of Elias.
I will send a pm.
