Many thanks for all the suggestions about the records for Lickey, it seems for those who haven't seen the correspondence that they are held at Birmingham Central Library. For anyone with links in that general area, I have today found some of "my" Wilkes families from Bromsgrove baptised at Cofton Hackett - the records for there have been filmed but I don't think they form part of the IGI. There seem to be lots of families in the records there giving their abode either as Bromsgrove or Kings Norton. Best wishes Ian Preece -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
