Have you tried looking at Maureen Rawsons site which has a vast amount of material from Kent . I know there are wills there. THe site is regularly added to so you might find other things which would interest you. I think if you Google Maureen Rawson Genealogy in Kent you should be able to find it.

I have visited the Maureen Rawson website, the Probates would be good to get a hold of as there are several Wills listed. None that match my ancestors but im sure they would help
