I'm out of my depth with English geography, much less its categorization. I just adopted the profile for Elizabeth (Fryer) Fisher, which says that she was born in "Maidenstone", Kent, England. When I went to add a location category to her profile, I didn't find Maidenstone, but I did find [[Category: Maidstone, Kent]]. Is that the right category for her profile?
Hi Elizabeth,
Judging by the profile, yes, Maidstone is the correct name of the location, and Maidstone, Kent is the correct category. There isn't a place in Kent called Maidenstone.
Looks like it Ros. Here's the ref from 1395 /6

And one from the reign of Henry VI so whilst the category would be Maidstone, Maidenstone or Maidestone would also be correct as historical names.https://www.british-history.ac.uk/ancient-deeds/vol2/pp308-317
