Find Ancestors

I am trying to trace any of my relatives in the Roswell family. My mother was Ellen Hinda Roswell, a spinster, who died aged 46 in 1955 at Maidstone, Kent. I have never met her or have any details of my family. There are some Roswells who may be connected such George Roswell and Ellen Roswell who lived in Kent area where I was born in Farnborough, Kent.
Appreciate any help :-)
