Hi All, on a Saturday morning that hasn't arrived over the horizon yet, but the rain has! We have an amazing new page on the website this week on the Dedications of Churches (CofE & RC) within about 15 miles of Banbury, based on Genuki's parish locator. Believe it or not that includes 6 counties (just!) : Buckinghamshie, Gloucestershire (1), Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. It's a marvellous resource already, thanks entirely to the hard work and committment of Frances Bishop, beavering away in British Columbia. The sources already tried have been listed at the bottom of the page, by county. But there are some gaps: Both in Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire we can find very few Roman Catholic Church Dedications -can anyone find the others - they must be there :-) And there are some "unknowns" - can anyone help. And if we've missed your favourite church - write to me :-))) Go to the front page and follow the 'What's New' link. Good wishes to you all, Rosemary, Northumberland UK ............................................................

Rosemary There is a Roman Catholic Family History Soc. Linked from the main FFHS Page, they may be able to help. I am not sure how far east Birmingham Archdiocese goes but I know West it covers WAR/SAL/STS/WOR /HEF and I think DBY.
