Kent records on FamilySearch

FamilySearch (www.familysearch.org) has added two new collections for Kent, as sourced from Kent History and Library Centre in Maidstone.

The collections are:

• England, Kent, Workhouse Records, 1777-1911
• England, Kent, Register of Electors, 1570-1907

The unfortunate news is that the collections can only be browsed at a family history centre, and not from home. For details of local centres visit https://familysearch.org/locations

John Reid on the Anglo-Celtic Connections blog has posted details of another resource for Kent, at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mrawson/, with various free to access resources.
