Can't locate a Lash/Lash birth in Maidstone in 1947. There is one with MMN Lash in 1945 in the name of Charlton?

Rambling

Rambling Report 27 Feb 2010 22:02

I see the one Lash / mmn Lesh for 1947 not Maidstone but Tonbridge?

If you have the patience, you may be able to find the Strood, Medway and Hoo events on cityark.medway.gov.uk if they are recorded in C of E PR.

You could also check out freereg which is in the process of transcribing the C of E parish records, using cityark as the source.

The Lash/Lesh record for 1945 that Rose found might link in. Reg'n districts for Tonbridge and Maidstone would not be that far apart ...
