FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject England Parish Tables: Kent Part 1

Project Leader
Becca Curtis

Purpose
To fix the outdated tables on each parish page in Kent, England. These tables contain many broken links, are missing important databases, or list databases that are not very useful in finding vital records in England. The first part of this project will be deleting the old table and pasting the new code.

To find the names of the neighboring parishes, use England Jurisdictions 1851 Map. In this site, search for the name of the parish, click on the location "pin", click Options and click List contiguous parishes.

Kent Online Parish Clerks has indexes available for select parishes. Records are also available at the Kent Archives.

4. Add the actual parish name where it says "PARISH NAME" (found twice near the top of the newly-inserted code). Do not put the parish in all caps. (For example: Abington Piggots not ABINGTON PIGGOTS)
