The transcription of these records was carried out by members of the Society over at least the past 15 years, and it cannot be guaranteed that they have all been checked to the Society's normal high standard. Reference, therefore, should always be made to the original record held at either the Kent History and Library Centre or the Medway Archives Centre. The reference number for which appears in each record. This publication does not cover all of the County and includes only records surviving in parish collections, not Poor Law records that are to be found amongst other sources such as Quarter Sessions, Petty Sessions and records of the Overseers of the Poor.
All of these sources and Settlement and Removal records from the parish collections, are indexed in Gillian Rickard's, East and West Kent Settlement Indexes see http://www.kentgen.com/ for further details.
