Kent wills search on Findmypast - missing many Canterbury court entries

[melba_schmelba]

Just a warning for people using the Kent wills search page on findmypast, a large number of wills that appear on the Canterbury Cathedral wills search page for the Archdeaconry and Consistory Courts of Canterbury, do not show up on findypast's database, so you should search both for a thorough search

It also appears the old way of searching the Rochester wills from the Kent Archives catalogue has now gone as they have switched to a more modern catalogue system, but now only link to the Canterbury wills page, which obviously doesn't contain any of the Rochester ones , so lets hope findmypast didn't lose any of the Rochester ones too
