Two volumes, each comprising over 650 pages, on one CD. This really is a superb resource for those family historians with an interest in Kent. Each individual town and village is arranged by 'hundred' and then into parishes and it is incredibly easy to locate each one using the index of places.
Every parish and place is described in minute detail describing the history, topography and other more anecdotal items. For example: 'On February 3rd, an eagle, of the fishing species, was shot by Mr. Thomas Peake, of Cliff's end: it measured seven feet across the wings, and was a remarkably fine and powerful bird. On being shot, Mr Peake forced from its throat nearly two pounds of large eels, and it is supposed that it gorged itself so much, that it was careless of its safety, having been killed with a common charge of No4 shot'. (There is also an index of subjects so look it up...... it's there under 'Eagle Shot'!)

With incredibly detailed descriptions of the history and topography of each place plus lists of residents with trades. One of the great advantages of a "late" directory such as this is that it is so easy to trace heads of household either by name or street address. (In the main towns each street, and every numbered house is there, together with the head of household and their occupation). Don't think of it as being just a 1940 resource. You will find all branches of your family and their addresses, and then go look at those same addresses in all earlier resources. That's the kind of information that will pull down those brick walls in your earlier research.
