Publications
planned for 2005
Administrations
in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury 1804-1858
To be published in several parts, probably starting with the period
1801-1805, this alphabetical listing of wills and admons by Kent
people proved in the PCC will be a most valuable resource. At present
these records are under-utilised, since only unpublished annual
calendars of the wills and admons exist and these are not available
to researchers outside the London record repositories. Surname,
Christian name, year and PRO reference will be given.
Tenterden 1831 Census index
Gives names and occupations of heads of households, with numbers of males and females, including servants, in the household. The returns survive almost complete. Set out in alphabetical order of surname, with Introduction. Expected price around £4.00.
Black people in Kent
A list and short history.
Emigrants and transportees from Kent
A catalogue of records gleaned from various Kent sources, together with a detailed history of emigration from Kent in the nineteenth century.
Gamekeepers and gun licenses in Kent, 1786

List of surnames in the Canterbury Baptisms Index 1790-1840
List of surnames and periods in which they occur (for example, SMITHSON 1790-1835) - no details of baptisms included. Separate index of baptisms held by the author.
Kent protestation returns, 1641
Lists males over the age of 18 parish by parish. Returns do not survive for every parish - mostly just for the eastern part of the county.
Communicants lists 1560s AND 1640s
Parishes in the Cranbrook and other areas.
New major publication series in progress:
Kent poor law union settlement records 1827-1930 - Abstracts and indexes
These records are particularly detailed and informative, giving family information hard to come by elsewhere, such as names of employers, previous addresses, rents paid, disabilities, names and current addresses of siblings etc., and in many cases hark back several generations - some give family information four generations back. Detailed calendars are in progress, which will give all pertinent information to be found regarding each settlement case. It is anticipated that these will be published by Poor Law Union, starting with Blean Poor Law Union 1847-1917.
Advance orders/ requests for notification on publication of any title welcome.
