Wilsons Consultancy Investigations is proud of its 55 year association with the Medway Towns. Family History Resources I get quite a few e-mails from people asking how they can find out about ancestors who lived in the Medway Towns, so we have put together some resources on the family history

The Medway Towns The Medway Towns lie clustered around the estuary of the River Medway, approximately half way along the North Kent coast. (The river got its name from the Saxon "med" meaning "middle").

The Medway Towns consist of Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Strood, Rainham and various outlying villages on the Hoo Peninsular, including Grain. Each of the towns has its own distinct character and history. This site aims to tell you about each of them from the point of view of someone who lives there.

Watling Street, the Roman Road from Dover to London, runs through the middle of them, entering at Rainham, running through South Gillingham, down Chatham Hill, along New Road in Chatham, along Rochester High Street, across Rochester Bridge, and out through Strood. It is now known in various parts as the A2, Watling Street, Sovereign Boulevard, London Road, High Street and, to most of the locals, "The Top Road".

Medway covers a large area, and has a large population (over 250,000 people). It has been populated since Saxon times, and there are many things to see. This guide has been divided into sections covering the separate towns which make up the Medway area. As always, click the area of interest to find out more
