Hello and thankyou for the reply! I am looking for the longhurst family from sevenoaks  kemsing abot 1700 before and after ! I have some info but im struggling to find records for the area! denise x

As you've found there is not much on Sevenaks available.
The IGI (http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true)has a little, mainly marriages.
Kent FHS (http://www.kfhs.org.uk/index.htm) has fiche # 105 for sale that has Kemsing parish register 1561-1812.

Don't forget that LDS family History Centres can order in films of Parish Registers for a small fee.

Use this site to check the locations of FHCs and whether the PRs have been filmed.  NB There are often films of PRS even though the records are not available on the IGI.

There are some records for Sevenoaks & Kemsing on the BVRI 2

The Research Planning Aid for Kent is great for seeing what resources are available

There have been updates to the IGI since the Planning Aid was compiled.  Casalguidi has put up a list of additions to the IGI on Rootschat

If you order a film you view it on the film readers at the FHC.

If you buy fiche you would need to check which places in your area have a fiche reader that you could use. Libraries, local studies centres /archives are good places to investigate.

Good luck.
