  From Ruth CLAY's book: 
"Whitstable was a busy place in the days when oyster market boats went 
regularly to Billingsgate & hoys sailed to London and further afield.  At the 
time we are speaking of, probably most of the local men gained at least part 
of their livelihood from some activity connected with the sea. ... 
William GRIFFITHS, probably knew one end of a boat from the other despite the 
fact that he was a baker (and, with such a name, probably not local)."

* Whitstable is not on the IGI or on the BVRI version 2 which means the 
only ways to get the information is to order the film at your nearest 
Family history library run by the Church of the latter day saints (look 
in you phone book for it) or the microfiche put out by the Kent family 
history society which covers1549-1741 (number 1640- cost UKP4.60). They 
don't seem to have done the later records.
This site gives a breakdown of what is available for each parish
