Tracing Your Kent Ancestors
A Guide For Local and Family Historians

Published in June 2016, this is the first book devoted entirely to the genealogical records of the historical county of Kent and has been written by David Wright, a genealogist and historian based in the county all his life.  

Bryan Faussett:  Antiquary Extraordinary

Published in May 2015.  Why did I choose to write about this fascinating individual? He is modestly well-known in Kent, but his reputation is long overdue for greater national recognition (the entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is painfully short!). Working as a genealogist, I found his descendants who were more than willing to place at my disposal that biographer’s dream of the family papers.

East Kent Parishes

The standard guide for Canterbury and Maidstone Archives, listing parishes, and their jurisdictions and records.

Kent Probate Records

Unique master catalogue of the county’s extremely rich collections and their indexes.

Kentish Census Returns

Exhaustive survey including the pre-1841 material, lost returns, registration districts and registrars.

St Peter's Whitstable

As a long standing Lay Preacher at St Peter’s Church, Whitstable, I have compiled and written a history of our church, a copy of which can be purchased for £3.00.
