Hello John, FWIW Woodcote Green is at OS Ref SO 914 726 - and a quick look at the current 1:25,000 would seem to indicate that there's precious little there *now*... While it *is* shown on the 1830s 1" map, there wouldn't seem to've been much in the way of "development" in the intervening 170 years.... While it was within Bromsgrove Parish it was so only by the skin of its teeth at the time you're talking about, as it was then at the end of a skinny peninsula bordered to the South by Upton Warren, to the North by a detached portion of Upton Warren, and to the West by Chaddesley Corbett. It is possible that the Worcestershire VCH *may* make passing reference to it - try British History Online at < http://www.british-history.ac.uk/ > and work through by clicking on "Regions - Midlands" and then "Victoria County History - Worcestershire". Other than that I've few suggestions :-( Gus ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Duffield" <bjdbjd2004@yahoo.co.uk> To: <eng-worcester@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2010 12:20 PM Subject: [WOR] Woodcote Green, Bromsgrove > My ancestors were Agricultural Labourers in Woodcote Green in the early > 19th.
