Tritton family Charing Kent

[manga]

I am looking to see if anyone has any records or access to records for charing kent, such as parish records or cemeteries I am looking for information on Tritton family members before 1650.

Thanks

Have you tried the Tritton One-name Study website? Alec Tritton has been collecting Trittons for years and may have some information on the family you are looking for.

Thankyou, just one thing how do I view these records or obatin them in Australia. Can you obtain them from the national archives ?

Thw wills are available from the Centre for Kentish Studies and the Canterbury Cathedral Archives.

They have also been filmed and can be ordered from Family History Centres.

Sadly both sites listed with Tritton wills have disappeared.

Maureen's site is still there but that particular page listed has gone

The KAS website is a dreadful mess these days, alas, and nothing can be found easily. Redesigned by a programmer. I used to rely on it for research but now it's hopeless

I agree that the KAS website is a mess.  As you say, records are difficult to find while others seems to have disappeared.  It such a shame.  I wouldn't have been able to research as far back with my family history without access to these records.

Such a shame.. I'm not keen on complaining (I'm a member). I could recreate the website for them if they wanted. Maybe I should offer?
