Kent, England Probate Jurisdictions for Parishes Beginning with C

Here is a list of the parishes of Kent and the primary pre-1858 ecclesiastical probate courts that had jurisdiction over each.

There were also secondary courts with jurisdiction. They will be added at a later time.

The highest court in the land was the Prerogative Court of Canterbury and it would have had final jurisdiction when necessary, such as in the case of a wealthier person who owned property in more than one area or county, or when a will was appealed. Most wills were proved in the courts of primary jurisdiction.
