A recent article in Who Do You Think You Are listed the following surnames as being of Kent origin: Bing, Brenchley, Chittenden, Durling, Fagg(e), Gambrill, Greenstreet, Pout.
Our Members Interests database include all of the above surnames, suggesting we have individuals within the society who are connected to or researching those names
I would like to create an article for each of these surnames for the journal and website - if you have a connection to any of the above surnames, please contact me with your contributions such as your family link to the surname, its origins in your family history, family photos and other records. Contact editor - editor@kfhs.org.uk
In addition, I am looking to identify other Kent Surnames - particularly surnames that can be demonstrated to originate in Kent, perhaps from a local place, word or other connection.
There is a new webpage on the website that provides a summary of the surname, its origins, frequency, distribution, variants, and historical occurrences - visit now.
