Thank you for your e-mail. You don't give any indication of dates, so it's a little difficult to tell which era you are interested in. If you have a look at the Badsey website, www.badsey.net, and click on the alphabetical index, you will see that there are a very large number of Keens and Hartwells. However, my transcribing of parish records basically stops 100 years ago because of Data Protection of living persons. I assume that the people you are talking about were born some time in the 20th century. If you are able to work backwards from yourself, back to your grandparents/great-grandparents, I may then be able to point you in the direction of discovering your family history going back over several centuries.
Have you looked at the section on www.badsey.net called "Children's letters describing market gardening life in 1933"? Five children by the name of Keen (there were quite a number of Keens living in the village then) wrote letters, including an 11-year-old John Keen. Is that by any chance your John Keen?
