In regard to writing things for future generations. Last year Australia conducted a Census and we were asked to answer whether or not we agreed to that particular form being kept in order for it to be accessed in 100 years or so. Of course I answered YES, but also added a note on the bottom of the form, wishing the reader well and a couple of other things which I can't recall at the moment, so sending a message into the future.

I have the marriage of Maria frost and Thomas Richards. Plus the birth dates etc. for Maria Richard's and her siblings. Maria (nee Richards)BRIGGS worked for Dr. Edward Swales and his wife Margaret. Her son Thomas Francis Richards Briggs stayed sometimes with her at the Doctor's house and the rest of the time with Maria's parents. Maria didn't marry again until 1885, when she married Dr. Edward Swales. I have been to the house they lived in at 3 Trinity Rd, Sheerness. The answers may be with descendants of the RICHARDS family but sadly I've not been able to contact any 'cousins'.
