My ancestors were Agricultural Labourers in Woodcote Green in the early 19th. C. and I would like to find out more about the place. Can anyone tell me anything about the history of Woodcote Green, or suggest any sources of such information please? Thank you, John DUFFIELD (in Rugby) ________________________________

Hi John, I can only add that the people of Woodcote Green, were often hatched, matched and dispatched via St. John's in Bromsgrove. Baptisms from 1753 were giving abode and occupation. Also census data comes under Bromsgrove. Early spelling was sometimes Woodcott. You could also check the Tithe Map, 1836-1845 ish. This would give you the Land Owner, use and value of land or buildings, and _possibly_ the name of the occupier. The maps are surprisingly very accurate, down to the shape of the privy at the bottom of the garden. To be honest I don't think much happened there.
