I have some entries for Tredington in my Robbins/Robins database if anyone is interested, though most of them seem to be from somewhere else. MAR in France.

Hi all, The picture I have (from the web) of St Gregories at Tredington will be posted to PPP as soon as I get back home this weekend. If you can't wait, the photo is on http://www.rootsweb.com/~engcots/TredingtonWar.html and Bill McKenzie has just kindly given me permission to copy it onto PPP Note there is another photo attributed to Bill and labled Tredington church Warwickshire, which is actually the church in GLS !

(1) The Feldon (so named, not Felden). I am sure I shall be corrected if I'm wrong, but this has always seemed to me to be a historian's/place name researcher's construct, rather than a real place or area, such as one of the Hundreds. It owes it's existence to the contrast with the wooded areas north of the Avon, loosely termed the 'Forest of Arden', which again has a vague existence rather like Lyonesse or Avalon. Nevertheless, the two areas were marked by different patterns of settlement (Arden by isolated farmsteads in clearings in the woodland, Feldon by an open-field economy). The names of the villages and hamlets also show some distinctive features. Those who are interested in this should look at the introduction to the English Place Names Society's volume on the Place Names of Warwickshire. (2) Tredington ancestors. So here we are on Wednesday of Tredington week, and, if I have understood her correctly, only one person has come forward with one ancestor, in spite of the fact that this has been a big village with a large population from very early times. Earlier villages in this series, although smaller, produced many more responses. So what is it about Tredington? I know not everyone is interested in family history, but there must be some reason for this absence of interest. (I suppose I shall be instantly proved wrong by a sudden burst of activity!) I know that not everyone interested in family history belongs to this mailing list, but I gain the impression that this is also true of other forums (if I can use that word without censure). I'm not surprised that Ufton did not produce any responses from those with ancestors there. That really is a tiny village with a minute population, and the number of descendants is probably very, very small. But Tredington: there must be thousands, or tens of thousands of descendants by now.

Friends, Because "Tracing your Ancestors in Warwickshire " emphasises the Village as being part of WAR. I thought it may be useful to have a description from the WOR perspective :-) Firstly there is another Tredington in the same area , in Gloucestershire 3miles SE of Tewkesbury. This is about the Village situated on the River Stour , part of Worcestershire until c1930 . >From " Topographical Dictionary of England 1831 " ( Digitised on CD by Archive CD Books ) 'TREDINGTON, a parish forming, with the Parishes of Shipston upon Stour and Tidmington, a distinct portion of the upper division of the Hundred of Oswaldslow, county of Worcester, being locally in the Kington Division of the Hundred of Kington, county of Warwickshire, 2½ miles N of the Parish of Shipston upon Stour, containing the Hamlets of Armscott, Blackwell, Darlingstock, and Newbold, 1032 Inhabitants. The living is a Rectory, in two portions in the peculiar jurisdiction of the Rector, jointly rated with the King's Books at £99.17.6d and in the patronage of the Principal and Fellow's of Jesus' College, Oxford. The church is dedicated to St Gregory, there has been a church on the site since abt 1160, part of the nave of the present church, has masonry of the original church completed in 1160. This parish was divided under an act, passed in the 6th year of reign of George I, when the townships of Shipston and Tidmington were separated from it and constituted a distinct parish The River Stour runs through the Parish. There was formerly a monastery , the remaining part of which is now the Rectory House. There is small endowed school in the parish " Helen New Zealand

When children are born in several different countries, the question to ask is was the man a soldier or a marine? 1815 to 1820 is the period immediately after the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, when many British regiments were stationed in France. Just because a man was a bricklayer doesn't stop him being a soldier at one time. The places where the children were born may give a clue to what regiment the man was in, if indeed he was a soldier. If you tell me the places, I can look up for you what the likely regiment was. Also try searching the National Archives army records for a soldier of that name.

The *new* indices due under the DoVE project won't be available for some time yet, quite possibly not even in 2009 *but* the old indices are still available via ancestry, findmypast and familyrelatives, amongst others. Fiche is not the only option. AIUI, the project had stalled completely but with the ONS (which has responsibility for the GRO indices) being transferred to the IPS (Identity and Passport Service), it's moving again. It may also be that there will, eventually, be restrictions placed on the more recent events. If there is anyone using a fiche that isn't legible, then the original volumes can, and will be, checked by a member of staff on request. It won't be an instant check and it won't be available to the public either. > I think quite a few of the records at Kew have/ are being digitised > too so the originals will be unavailable - and sometimes not all > info transcribed. The National Archives are only doing what has been the case in record offices for a number of years. With the growth of interest in family history and genealogy, the old (and not so old) documents won't stand repeated handling. If they are to be preserved for future generations then they have to be digitised. Nevertheless, original documents will remain available as, when and if the need arises. They just won't be automatically produced. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, SOM

Well, you learn something new on this List every day! I never knew that SE Warwickshire was and is called "The Felden"! [Called The Felden (area of 'felds') - to distinguish this area from the mainly wooded Arden Forest to the north?] Anne Paling SHEFFIELD, U.K.

The church, dedicated to St Gregory, has a spectacular 210 ft steeple - link to a photo. http://www.divine-inspiration.org.uk/church.php?id=31 I must have passed this village many many times as it is situated just off the Old Fosse Way, a Roman road which ran, NE-SW, from Lincoln to Exeter. The stretch which by-passes Tredington is long and straight - or was during 1960s - I see that they have inserted a roundabout to the N of the village in more recent times. Anne Paling SHEFFIELD, U.K.

I would also be interested in information about silk weaving in the Midlands area in the 19th century.Both husband and wife in my WEBSTER family, living in Chilvers Coton, Nuneaton were silk weavers, and it seems that this was a big industry in the area in the mid-nineteenth century. When their daughters grew older they became machinists. I wonder whether the family was running their own little business or whether they all worked for a larger firm in Chilvers Coton.

Village People- TREDINGTON "The farm of Trydda's people" To quote David Franks "Tredington is geographically a large village, and has a substantial number of marriage entries in the register, over 800 in the period up to 1754 alone, but it also seldom appears on the list. It may suffer from the fact that it was for a long time part of Worcestershire, so Warwickshire family historians tend not to search it. The deep south has this problem of the intermingling of four counties, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Oxfordshire, all with their records in different places, and many of the parishes having been moved from one county to another at different times. Even the dioceses that the parishes belonged to have a convoluted history! Tredington was a Peculiar, which makes researching wills a nightmare. The people who lived there didn't take any account of county boundaries in their marrying and moving to new places, of course. The records are in many different places, including Gloucester, the far side of the county, which makes searches very difficult, and the IGI extracted records are notoriously bad for this area." Format is as before please. Subject line- Village People -Tredington List your surname interests and dates for the village Any resources you have found/own that may be useful. Good hunting Wendy

Hello List, One of our group has found that the family of John and Sarah BROMWICH of Rugby had three children, a girl and two boys; between 1815 and 1820. Now the question to me is why would they have one child in England and the other two in France if the parent was a brick labourer. Can anyone advise me on this? For I have no idea...
