Hi, This is my first posting to this list and hope that sks will be able to help me. My wife's gr grandfather Andrew Bridge, according to census sheets, was born in Dudley, Worcestershire in approx. 1828. I can find quite a number of Bridge families for this area but none mention Andrew. If somebody has the parish registers for this village could they possibly see if Andrew is mentioned and who his parents are please. I have looked in the LDS IGI with no success. There was an Andrew Bridge who married an Ann Turley in 1817 in Dudley and wondered if they could be his parents. Regards Ron Weeks in Melbourne, Australia

I wonder if anyone has any Hartwright research. IGI has two christenings at Dodderhill, Elizabeth 1805 and Mary 1806 to parents George and Ann. Submitted trees at Ancestry suggest parents as George Hartwright b1767 & Ann Goodere, but they married in 1793. It seems strange that there are no children for 12 years. An online Hartwright website suggests a second marriage to Hannah Bromage but no date is given. It attributes Elizabeth and Mary to the second marriage along with Judith 1810 and Caroline 1816 baptised at Upton. It ignores George 1818 and James 1822, both on the same Upton batch. Does anybody have access to any records that might prove a death for Ann or the marriage to Hannah? Peter

Does anybody have PR's for St Nicholas that might give any extra information on the above marriage? Is it possible to get a certificate, and what might I see? Edmund and Mary have Ann 1826, James 1828, Elizabeth 1831 and William 1832, all at Ombersley. But I can't find a single one of the family in later census records. I do know Anne Davis married James Latham in 1847 in Worcester. But every variation of the others draws a blank. Peter in Sydney.
