Hello Eric, *IF* the entry on the IGI shows "JOHN OSBORNE, born abt 1758, WOR, Bolton" then it is almost certainly a Patron Submission - and in all probability an estimate or even blind guess by the person submitting it. I'm unaware of a 'Bolton' anywhere in WOR - at least there's not been a parish with that name. Possible mishearings of WOR Places could include: Baughton Boughton Broughton (Hackett) Bayton Himbleton but these can be no more than guesses, too...

Yep, still there, a bit run down now ever since the advent of the motor car as it is not close enough to the town centre for people to walk there and has little parking. Little change to much of the housing over the last 100 years too so there is a good chance that whatever you are looking for is still there.

Hello, Could someone with a knowledge of old Worcester tell me if a place called LOWESMOOR still exists? If so are the buildings/houses from the turn of the 19/20 century or earlier? Many thanks john Eaton socon
Hello list, Are there any RICHARDSONS out there who are decendants of JESSE or JOSHUA RICHARDSON of Worcester? JESSE & JOSHUA were born in the early 1830s. Regards John Eaton Socon On a much needed rainy afternoon in the Great Ouse valley.
There is a Lark Hill in Worcester, too. So not sure the one in Wiltshire was where my Herbert Taylor Middleton was born, although his father Charles was a lieutenant-colonel.

Hi Sharon Expect the Lark Hill is Larkhill where I was stationed in the 1960's and is on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire. It a very small village with a very large Royal Artillery presence ie Regiments and the School of Artillery. Kind Regards Shelagh

Hello Listers, We just had a family reunion and a cousin brought a picture believed to be of our GF's brother in a WWI uniform. I'd like to find out if he was in the service and/or find pictures of various uniforms to try to identify his. I don't have a photo copy yet so don't know if there are any identifying marks on the uniform. How would I go about finding out if he was in the army? Sincerely, Kay Andrews Pittsburgh, PA

Thank you, John. I take it 'Lieutenant Colonel' was the occupation of the father, Charles? Is Lark Hill near an army barracks? I know the Charles Middleton, father of the Herbert Taylor I am looking for was a colonel, and later a major-general later in life in Maidstone, Kent. Herbert Taylor has elluded me until now. This look like him.

Hi Could the following be your John Jones:- John Jones aged 55 born Brettell Lane Stourbridge Worcs. Labourer in iron works. If so could the word be Platts .rather than Dats . I Brettell Lane is just north east of the Platts at Amblecote near Stourbridge where in the 1830s Thomas Webb the glass manufacturer moved into the Georgian mansion known as Platt House and set up the Platt Works. At one time in the 19th century there was a forge to the south of The Platts. Regards Jacquie >
> Good morning Group > Would somebody please tell me where exactly St Peter's Anglican Church, Droitwich is situated. I want to visit the cemetery in May when we come over for a visit, and my gr gr grandparents were buried there in 1871 and 1884. Googling confused me because it came up with Droitwich Spa. Is this the same place? The oldies died in Spetchley and Henwood, Dodderhill. Is the cemetery still there? Thank you for any help Ann
Hello Ann, First off, 'Droitwich Spa' is the same place as Droitwich. The 'Spa' got added to the name in an attempt to upgrade the image of what was a very grimy little industrial town that eked-out a living boiling Natural Brine into blocks of salt. Yes, you can still take a Brine Bath - "Saltier than the Dead Sea" - when you visit, but you may need to Book... St Peters - and its graveyard - are still there (although I don't know what the state of the gravestones might be). It's around ½ a mile East and South of the town centre, but isn't accessible by any *simple* route by road. "Foreigners"*** really need a Street Map or a Native Guide! *** That's EVERYBODY who - and both whose parents, too - wasn't conceived, born and raised in Droitwich :-) Spetchley is some 6 miles away - a little East of Worcester on the road to Stratford on Avon. Dodderhill is a sprawly and centre-less Parish immediately to the North and East of Droitwich - it's CofE Church is now within Droitwich' boundary. I don't know Henwood, but there's a Hen Brook which flows East-West a shade to the North of the Radio Transmitter Towers.
