Hi Helen, I don't have details of your John WITCHELL but I do have details of lots of WITCHELLs from Oldbury on the Hill pre 1726. WITCHELL was a common name in Oldbury up to, and after this date. I would be more than happy to let you have details of all WITCHELL entries pre 1726 in the Oldbury PRs if you would like them. Regards Sue Sissons
