Hello Paula The Parish of Dodderhill was a fairly large area [~5,500 acres] to the immediate North and East of the Borough of Droitwich - part of it was even within the boundary of the Borough - and without any sort of central settlement. Its church, St Augustine's, is at the top of a slight hill, the edge of the churchyard being the Bourough boundary. 'Hill End' is the area immediately to the East of the church, where the land falls to the River Salwarpe. As to your other question, yes, it does mean that his occupation isn't given - it is still not a requirement in a Burials Register.

Can anyone help? I am trying to find the marriage of Joseph Wiggins (son of Thomas & Sarah baptised 22 March 1812 Church of St Mary Witney Oxfordshire) to Elizabeth Shaw formerly Flowers (born Kempsey Worc) at Great Malvern around 1843. Elizabeth died December quarter 1851. Joseph married Elizabeth Griffin in 1853. I have that certificate. Pat Sutton

Hello list I am looking for a marriage between Elizabeth COURT and Thomas ROGERS circa 1851-1857 possibly Castle Morton area,any help would be welcome. Kind regards Janice

My interests are associated with the following summary of the life of Ann Robinson (nee INETT)... Ann Inett was born in Abberley in Worcestershire in 1754; she had two children (fathers unknown), Thomas in 1778 and Constance in 1781. Ann was sentenced to death at the Worcester Lent Assize in 1786 for "breaking and entering", a sentence which was later commuted to "7 years trasportation beyond the seas". She travelled on "The Lady Penrhyn" with the First Fleet to Botany Bay and Port Jackson in 1887/88. She with five other female convicts, nine male convicts and eight free men under the command of Lieutenant Philip Gidley King were then transported to Norfolk Island to establish a settlement on the island. Whilst on the island Ann had two children by Gidley King - Norfolk in 1789 and Sydney in 1790. Gidley King was then sent to England by Governor Phillip and whilst there married his cousin Anna Josepha Coombe. He returned to Norfolk Island with his wife in 1791 and was appointed the third Governor of New South Wales in 1800. Gidley King arranged that both the King-Inett boys to be educated in England and later they were both commissioned into the Navy; they were first Australian-born officers in the Service. Ann married Richard John Robinson in Parramatta in 1792 and over the next 27 years they made a good and respectable life for themselves in Sydney Town. Richard John Robinson returned to England in 1819 and Ann followed him arriving in the vessel "The Admiral Cockburn" off Gravesend on 24th June 1820. But here the trail goes completely cold. During her 33 years "over the seas", nothing at all seems to have been recorded about Thomas born 1778. Constance married William Guy in All Saints', Worcester, in 1809 and by the time of Ann Robinson's return to England in June 1820 had four children - Thomas 1812, William 1814, Emma 1816 and Amelia 1818. She was expecting a fifth child when Ann returned; this child was baptised Mary Ann Robinson Guy at St.Clements' in September 1820. A strong indicator that Ann Robinson was present at the baptism, but no proof. A further child Jemima Guy followed in 1822. On 15th March 1825 Lieutenant Sydney King (baptised Sydney King Inett in St.Philip's church, Sydney Town in 1790) married Mary Butler at St. John Bedwardine, Worcester under the name of Sydney Inett King - but no evidence has been found to show that he was re-united with his mother. His life is fully documented up to his death in 1841. Likewise his brother Norfolk's naval history is fully documented up to his death in London in 1839 But they nothing associated with the Guy family has been found after Jemima was baptised in 1822 and nothing has been found related to either Ann Robinson or Richard John Robinson after the arrival of the respective ships on which they travelled from NSW. What happened to Thomas? What happened to the Guy family? What happened to Ann Robinson (nee Inett) and Richard John Robinson? Can you help? Edward - kinsman of Ann Inett

Hello, I'm new to this list and am a bit confused about which county covers Upper Arley but think it is now in Worcester. I am researching the WALL family who lived in Upper Arley at the beginning of the 19th century. John WALL b. Kinver about 1777 had son Thomas WALL b about 1812 who married Harriet Holloway and had two sons John and Joseph Thomas. Harriet went on to a second marriage after her husband's death to Thomas DIPPLE and had two more children George and Mary Ellen DIPPLE. Joseph Thomas WALL moved to Huyton in Lancashire and his brother John WALL spent 21 years in the Norfolk regiment before retiring to Great Yarmouth. I would be really interested in getting into touch with anyone researching these families. Pamela Soyer Paris, France

Hi Gus, Is the WOR Marriages Index something that can be accessed online, or could I buy a CD ROM of it? Does it cover dates after 1837? I am still trying to find a marriage for my great grandparents Henry WILLIAMS and Mary WILDING (aka PLAYDON) sometime after 1855 (when Henry's first wife died). Despite scouring the BMD index for all possible variations of Mary's name(s) I have drawn a blank. It is possible they never married, but if they did it could have been anywhere from Claines to the Blockhouse area as they moved around. Vivien From: "Gus Tysoe" <[email protected]> > > OTOH, *IF* her parents married in WOR, then it will be included in the WOR > Marriages Index.

Good morning from New Zealand Lyn, If you are not undermined by requests, and happen to attend the 'Lone Pine Memorial' or the 'Twelve Tree Copse Memorial' at Gallipoli, I would be delighted if you could take photos of the two following graves/stones. 1. My mother's uncle: A(llan) Gillingham died 25.4.15 (Anzac day - for NZers and Aussies). He died storming the beach after leaving the ship 'Annaberg'. He is buried at Lone Pine Memorial (75). I assume (75) is a section of Lone Pine. 2. The only other Cobden born, West Coast, South Island, NZ, lad is Frank George Ross died 8.5.15 at Daisy Patch. He is buried at 'Twelve Tree Copse Memorial (11.1.8)' Some of the memorials are miles apart, so I will understand if you dont succeed. Have a nice, safe trip. Regards, Richard. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [ <mailto:[email protected]> mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lyn Edmonds As part of my family history research we are visiting Gallipoli soon.

Stourbridge was a part of the Church of England Parish of Old Swinford - but there were a fair number of Non-Conformist chapels in the area where Adelaide might have been baptised.
