Having just about come to the end of my search for my grandmother Ethel May Brewerton who I think died June 1988, I have though about posting a letter in the local paper if it has a 'readers letters' section to see if any one remembers her. Does anyone know of a good local paper that covers Maidstone and the surrounding area? Does the paper have an e-mail address? Have tried googeling with no success since I do not know the area so can't make sense of the info. Many thanks Jeanie A.

What about the Sevenoaks Chronicle - or the Kent & Sussex Courier? If you Google either of those you should find their websites. Both would cover news from Maidstone.
