   It seems your search terms are rather odd if you are getting USA results   
   in familysearch.   
      
   I've just searched family trees on familysearch for   
   Stephen Bingham b 1855-1865 Kent, England   
   and there is a tree including Stephen Bingham b1860 with ancestors back   
   to 1706.   
      
   There is free access to Ancestry UK this weekend. I don't know whether   
   it includes public trees.
