Hello Katherine, hello Londoners.

I found my KINSLOW ancestors in Chatham entered as KINSTOWE. It's a good
job I knew where they lived and searched for anyone surnamed GREEN until I
found one who lived in the same street. Then I searched through the
neighbours until my ancestors popped up. Actually, GREEN works quite well
in finding streets where you suspect one of your ancestors, or relatives,
lived. SMITH, BROWN, JONES are pretty useless substitutes for GREEN, but
BLACK has worked a few times. Try it, tell us what you think.

Kind regards,
Barry.
