Where can I find and access Gravesend parish records?
« on: Monday 11 August 25 21:12 BST (UK) »
Hi there,
Does anyone have any advice on how and where to access Gravesend parish records? I've tried Kent heritage and library centre but I can't make heads or tails of it. I'd prefer if I can find the records remotely.
Thanks,
Olive

Gravesend PRs are usually available on the CityArk site, but for some reason they are not showing up at the moment.

Indeed. Here is another link to CityArk:
https://cityark.medway.gov.uk/

Clicking on "Parish Records" used to result in a list of PDF documents. Now you get nothing useful at all. Hmm

There are transcriptions on findmypast, in their Kent databases, with links to the image pdf files from Medway Archives. These appear to be working, i.e.
https://cityark.medway.gov.uk/wwwopacx/wwwopac.ashx?command=getcontent&server=files&value=P159-01-04(1).pdf

And transcripts for Gravesend are also available on FreeReg
