I do apologise if you are already aware of this, but Shipston on Stour is in Warwickshire these days. Around that area there are many county borders such as Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire as well as Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, so you may be faced with a large inter-county search! > Can anyone help with the following queries? 1.

There was an 1841 Census for Worcestershire, and I think Rod Neep's website sells it. > Any help much appreciated. > Regards to all, > Colin Jarvis. -- Chris Ramsbottom researching: BARRATT, DANCER, FELLOWS, GOODES, ROBINSON, TUCKLEY, WHEWAY CAMPTON, GREGORY all in and around Birmingham/Smethwick, 1850 to present day
