Please forgive my lack of knowledge but, in England are the grave markers know as monument inscriptions or tombstones? Also, are there many of either in church yards dating back into the 1600 - middle 1800's? If not, where did they go? Thanks Cathy --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

My gggm was Ann Parry born c 1805 Stoke Prior Worcs. On the 1881 census she was living with her son Matthew and family at Long Eye farm Bromsgrove, her age is stated as 76 years. Fact - Ann's husband was Richard Parry, I have the marriage of Matthew (1856 Bromsgrove Parish Church) which states his father to be Richard. I have not been able to find the marriage of Richard & Ann yet. I believe Ann's maiden name could be George. I believe (hope)the following entries on the 1851 & 1861 to be Richard & Ann Parry my family. 1851 Piece 2047 Folio 281 Schedule 101 Bromsgrove,Bromsgrove Lickey End Richard Parry Head Married 49 Ag.labourer Bromsgrove,WOR Ann Wife M 43 " " " " Thomas Son Unm 17 " " " " Emma Herliton Vis M 22 Stoke,WOR Alfred Herliton Vis 2 Birmingham,WAR Charles Tomson Lod Unm 21 Ag.labourer Kingsbury,WAR 1861 Lickey's End next to Crows Mill Richard Parry H. mar. aged 58 Ag. Lab. b. Bromsgrove Ann wife aged 53 Ag. Lab's wife born Stoke, Worcs. Alfred Harkestone grandson aged 11 b. Birmingham Ann has gained 3 years by the 1881 census, if the above is correct then she should be stated as 73 not 76. There is another Ann Parry on the 1881 census born 1813 Upton Worcs. living in Bromsgrove also a widow. Is there any one on the list who has access to an earlier census that can tell me the name of Ann Parry's (born 1813) husband. I hope that it is not Richard. I am trying to prove that Emma on the 1851 census (the surname should read Hurlstone) is the sister of Matthew. I have the marriage certificate for Emma Parry & Henry Hurlstone and Emma's father is Richard. It all seems quite conclusive but as we all know you can never be absolutely sure. I need to feel sure that there was only one Richard & Ann Parry and that the Ann Parry (born 1813) was not married to a Richard. Best wishes Margaret www.thegoodies.org.uk

Hello Colin, The Lickey was transferred to Birmingham Diocese in 1905, so it seems not altogether unreasonable for Bham Central Library to hold its registers. Records Offices are (broadly) set up to deal with matters pertaining to the Civil Administration Units within the boundaries of their Civil Authorities - but The Lickey's Registers are Ecclesiastical.

Hello All Just a quick note to say Parishmouse has been updated today (21 May) adding pictures of Churchill in Oswaldslow and the graves with descriptions. The churchyard was very overgrown and quite a few of the graves were unreadable. I have however included them in case anyone can work out who they are from a plan. I am hoping to get White Ladies Aston up next but may take a while as there are 178 photos to add descriptions to so I may put them all up and then update them as I go.

Hello All Just a quick note to say Parishmouse has been updated for a second time today adding some more pictures of Upton Snodsbury and some of the graves with descriptions. When I visit there again I will attempt to photograph all the graves but this time I was just passing on the way to somewhere else. I am hoping to get White Ladies Aston up next and/or Churchill If anyone knows of a good free site search engine that allows a soundex search please let me know and then I can add it to the site and make it a little easier to find people. Thanks for all the nice emails ... it does help when faced with hundreds of photos to sort out and add descriptions to ... one day I might get some of my own research done :)) The address is www.parishmouse.co.uk All the best Sally

Hello All Parishmouse site has been updated today as follows: 1. Drakes Broughton updated - descriptions added 2. Hill Croome has been added complete with descriptions - lots of old stones with some dating back to the 1700s. Also references to people buried here who resided at Upton on Severn, Severn Stoke and even Cheltenham. The following will be added to the existing parishes as I get time: Update to Bradley - Gravestones photographed; Hindlip; Bromsgrove - St Johns (292+ photos!), Kempsey; Churchill; White Ladies Aston; Dodford - photographs have been taken and will be uploaded soon!

Thanks to all for their help

The parish of [The] Lickey was solely Ecclesiastical. The parish, and its church (Holy Trinity) were established in 1858 out of parts of the ecclesiastical parishes of Bromsgove and Catshill (itself created around 1838-44 out of Bromsgrove). For Civil purposes ir remained in Bromsgrove parish. You don't say 'where' the registers are not on film - the LDS? But the chances are high that they have been filmed, and are available at Worcester History Centre - although I'll freely admit I've never looked for them!

Morning/afternoon all. Now following up a new line of the Wilkes families in and around Catshill near Bromsgrove. Enoch, George and William all feature between 1850 and 1890. They were from Bromsgrove, and seem to have set up a real hotspot of Wilkes families in the Staple Hill area on the edge of Lickey End by the 1891 census, and I have them in a variety of census records from 1851 onwards. I see the registers for Lickey are not on film, does anyone have experience of viewing the registers, are they still at the church? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

My relatives were the BATES family of Diglis, Worcester. Rumour has it that Fred Bates (born 1883) may have been the editor of a Diglis newspaper. Some relatives say they used to receive the "Berrows"? Worcester Journal whilst living in Worcester in the 1920's. Can anyone give me any more information or ideas to obtain more data on these matters? Sure would appreciate it.
