These records fall into three categories. 1841-61 and 1891 have
been collected selectively from local Libraries and Record Centres
in and around the Isle of Thanet. This is not yet a complete
collection, and work is still on-going.
The 1881 records are extracted from the published CD's covering
England, Scotland & Wales.
The 1901 records are extracted from the on-line web site, and
occasionally added to as more locations are checked out.
