Introduction
This index is based on information from part of one film covering order papers from July 1682
to January 1701/2, continued until July 1704 on the next film. Earlier records for East Kent
and some for West Kent are also on the first film.
Quarter Sessions for East Kent were held at Canterbury. Over most of this period they were
usually held only twice a year, in January and July, with occasional shorter sessions inbetween.
This index covers various types of entries but is
not a complete index of every person named on the source.
It has been divided by type of record.
