   Ah, sorry, I wasn't clear - when I said tell us where you've looked, I   
   meant specific records - e. g. 1861 census, birth index, someplace   
   parish record (original or bishop's transcript), and so on - not which   
   websites. The reason being, so your potential helpers know where _not_   
   to look as you've already looked there; no point in duplicating effort.   
      
   Having said that, looking at your list of sites, it looks to me as if   
   you are only using free ones - fair enough. (You mention you use   
   findmypast, but I know you can get some results for free there.)

   Several sites, familysearch in particular, have unindexed - even   
   untranscribed - images; for example (though not a lot of use to you for   
   Kent!), familysearch have a pretty comprehensive set of images of   
   bishop's transcripts for the diocese of Durham, which covers most of   
   Northumberland, and a fair amount of Durham, and some of   
   Cumberland/Cumbria and York/Yorkshire. They're not transcribed, but it   
   isn't "here are 4 million scans" - they're mostly divided into parish,   
   and within parish into _broad_ time-period sections. They probably do   
   also have some similar for other areas such as Kent. (Under Canterbury?)

   No problem.   
      
   Perhaps, you could post all you _do_ know about your ancestor, saying   
   for each piece of information where (record, not site) where you got it;   
   that way we can avoid duplication of effort. Also, perhaps, if there's a   
   specific piece of information you _are_ after (and any you're _not_   
   interested in).
