Hello Mike, I can't help with individuals - but I may be able to help with some Geography... The f\mily are quite clearly Redditch-based - a complex area that spilled untidily across the WAR/WOR boundary, with parts within the Registration Districts of Bromsgrove, Kings Norton and Alcester, although with various Boundary Changes over the years all are *now* in WOR and Redditch Registration District... Redditch itself was a WOR chapelry/township of the Parish of Tardebigge - which was a detached part of WAR until 1844 - although Redditch did not become a separate Parish Ecclesiastically until 1855 or Civilly until 1866. By the late 1880s the 'built-up' area of the town comprised: Redditch Civil Parish (most of it) - and parts of the Civil Parishes of: Beoley (WOR) - Kings Norton Reg Dist] Feckenham (WOR) - Alcester Reg Dist] Ipsley (WAR) [which part was transferred to WOR in 1894 - although it remained in Alcester Reg Dist until 1931]. Feckenham was also anomalous - although it was 'always' in WOR [and its Parish Registers are held at Worcester History Centre], it was nevertheless in the Registration County of WAR, so its census details are held at Warwick Records Office...

In 1879 Ellen CHATTERLEY married Thomas Henry YOXALL, the marriage was registered in Bromsgrove. In the 1891 census they are found in Ipsley with 6 children, who were all born in Crabbs Cross, with the name ZORALL. The scan looks clear enough to me as YOXALL!! Though I was looking at it looking for YOXALL!!!! Is anyone able to find them in 1901 for me please? I have run out of ideas!!

I am hesitant about correcting such an expert on boundary changes, but only a small part of Tardebigge parish was in Warwickshire, and it was predominantly in Worcestershire. The 1841 census - the only one to be arranged strictly by county - has 90 pages of Tardebigge in Worcestershire, but only 11 in Warwickshire (covering Tutnall and Cobley). Redditch town was always in Worcestershire (although over time it expanded and absorbed surrounding areas formerly in Warwickshire). I'm less sure about when the boundary was tidied up, but suspect it may not have been in the great national boundary changes of 1844, as the following, taken from The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868), and found on GENUKI, indicates. "TARDEBIGG, a parish chiefly in the upper division of Halfshire hundred, county Worcester, but partly in the Alcester division of Barlichway hundred, county Warwick, 3 miles S.E. of Bromsgrove, its post town, and 2 S. of the Blackwell railway station. The village is situated on the Worcester and Birmingham canal, and on the Birmingham and Bristol railway. The parish includes the town of Redditch and the hamlets of Bentley, Pauncefoot, Webheath, and Tutnall. The soil is rich and productive, and the subsoil abounds in building-stone."

Hello Gus. Thanks. My interest is in my wife's maiden name of CHATTERLEY. The earliest direct relation is from Spernal and they migrated through Morton Bagot and Bearley to Snitterfield. It would seem that there was a movement of CHATTERLEYs in the opposite direction, to Studley, Ipsley and Feckenham with there being connections to Wootton Wawen, Great Alne and Inkberrow as well. I haven't found anyone else looking at the CHATTERLEY name and was trying to connect them all together. Thanks again. Mike
