Just a suggestion - go to your local library and try to get Ancestral Trails, by Mark D Herber (or buy it £20.00 ish). It covers absolutely everything for UK and will tell you where all sorts of records are, or how to find out. Maz. XX

Try your local archive office and look at parish registers. That may help

What about wills? Have you looked at www(.)documentsonline(.)pro(.)gov(.)uk ? You can download for £3.00 or take reference and view/print on film at FRC. Maz. XX

Hi Everyone. I have just spent a really long day searching through the parish records at Canterbury Cathedral...I cant seem to find anything new! My 5xGreat Grandfather Spicer was born in 1760 but I have no record of his marriage or his parents. I was wondering if anyone had ideas as to what records I should look at next. I have only used online records and census' before, so actual searching at the Archives centre is pretty new to me. Any ideas would be really appreciated! Best Wishes! Sarah
