Documents dated after 1834 can be particularly detailed and useful, often giving details of parents or even grandparents. The Index is comprehensive, including any items relating to settlement where both parishes are given. The list on the attached sheet is of all the surviving parish collections for West Kent parishes. These are all included in the Index. Petty and Quarter Sessions records - these can help to fill in gaps in parish collections and may feature records for parishes which have no collections of documents.
Current coverage is detailed on the attached sheet.
Other Sources - including diaries of Justices of the Peace, Accounts of Overseers of the Poor, Vestry Minutes and various incidental references. The Index contains over 16,500 entries to date, and is being added to daily. Documents from all the extant parish collections are in the Index and addition of the other items, in Quarter and Petty Sessions records, is in progress. If your ancestors' parish does not appear on the list, it does not mean there are no settlement documents for them, as there may be something among Quarter or Petty Sessions papers, Vestry Minutes, etc. Obvious surname variants will be checked but please point out any unusual variants, particularly those involving a difference in initial letter.
