A general procedure is to do a film # search for 1886146 in the FS catalog - there's a link in the banner bar at:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JWQC-8WL
Here, I see:
Authors: Church of England. Parish Church of Faversham (Kent) (Main Author)
No hint of the dedication, but I can search in Lewis (1848):
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/source.aspx?pubid=445
and find:
FAVERSHAM, or Feversham (St. Mary), a seaport, market-town, and parish, having separate jurisdiction, and the head of a union... etc
another look up excludes another nearby St Mary's:
DAVINGTON (St. Mary Magdalene), a parish, in the union and hundred of Faversham... etc
A search at http://www.geograph.org.uk/ for church near Faversham gets 75 hits, amongst them:
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/325423
In the blurb under the pic, one sees:
Subject Location: TR 018 615 [100m precision]
Photographer Location
OSGB36: geotagged! TR 018 614
View Direction: Northwest (about 315 degrees)
Although this is beyond the scope of your query, if you look up the location at:
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/
[NB search for TR018615, i.e., omit the embedded blanks]
You'll get taken to a map, and embedded in the URL is the old style OS coordinates of the arrow head, viz:
x=601850&y=161550
Clicking on zoom level 4 gets me the same map that there's a tiny inset of at geograph
Streetma's actually placed the arrow head at TR 01850 061550 rather than the TR 01800 061500 I specified - the addition of 50m to the easting and to the northing is supposed to compensate for the "to 100m precision"]
The real point of this Streetmap look up was to discover the magic letters TR stood for the leading digit pair of 6,1.
Anyways, I can now go to http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html and input the OS coordinates 601850,161550, and view that place on old maps - it's really only worth checking a scale of 1:2500 or larger - 1:10560 is really too small a scale in my opinion. [I nearly said IMHO as I've just figured out what it stood for, but on reflection, I doubt now I'll ever use it - I just don't have humble opinions.]

Thank you Kucinta and mgnv.
Yes, Edward was married to both Susan Martin who died a few weeks after their 3rd child's birth, and then to Susanna Fairbeard (various phonetic spellings), and yes, Frederick Charles was another of the children from the 2nd marriage.
mgnv - I'll print off your instructions for future reference. Thank you for that.

mgnv -
No need to be humble.
IMHO, I always thought IMHO meant "in my honest opinion"!

AG - intrigued by your post, I did a web search. It seems there's no uniformity of opinion abt humble/honest - both seem to have their proponents.

Sounds like a good topic for General Chat! ;-)
