Keith, You could try visiting the new Local Studies & Family History library on Chester Walk, Cheltenham [just behind the main library on Clarence Street. Street directories, Electoral registers, parish mags, all sorts in fact to offer clues to the life of your ancestors. Newspapers on microfilm too. Very important resource. Webpage has been updated to list the main collections. http://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/libraries/index.cfm?articleid=1369 It is advisable to contact the library to book a film reader in advance as they do get used, and also an email if you fancy anything in particular so it can be got out ready for your visit. Use the locate catalogue linked on the above page. St Peters church is along the Tewkesbury Road, just beyond the Tesco stores. It is about a 15 minute walk from the town centre so easily possible. I'm not sure when it is open if you are thinking of having a look inside. Hope this gives you some encouragement to make the journey, and should you make it into the library I may even meet you there!!

My friend gave to me children books awarded to Jane Mustoe and Jane Turk, these were prizes awarded at St Peters Church Cheltenham year 1894. He also found the marriage certificate of Elizabeth aged 22 to a Frederick Hitchings the year 29th July 1905.The father of Elizabeth was Jon Mustoe (deceased) gardener domestic. My friend and I are thinking of travelling to Cheltenham to see if we can find out more, but because we are complete novices on how to go about searching, any advice given will be most appreciated. regards to all Keith > >
