Hello List, If a list member has access to St. Philip's Church, burial records would they look for an Edward HUDSON who died 15 December 1838 at Duddeston. Help appreciated. Ray Hudson Perth, Western Australia.

Hello Ray, It may be no more than a quibble, but I'm wondering why a (presumed) resident of Duddeston might be buried in Birmingham St Philip's graveyard. Duddeston was in Aston [St Peter & Paul], and was created a separate Ecclesiastical Parish in 1842 - and although I don't know when its church [St Matthew] was built there's a possibility that it may've been "open for business" 3 or 4 years earlier.

Hi Gus, Many thanks for your comments. Firstly let me say that my knowledge of Birmingham is virtually non existant which was the basis of my original question, which Charles was kind enough to answer. I see from Alf's reply that St. Matthews is unlikely to have been the point for lift off for Edward Hudson. So St. Philip's looks more probable at the moment. Ray Hudson Perth, Western Auistralia.

Hi Ray, don't forget Aston parish church - St Peter & St Paul. Duddeston being part of Aston and about equidistant from St P&P and St Philip's. Others within distance for burials in 1838 would be St James the less, Ashted; St Mary, Whittall St; Holy Trinity, Bordesley; St John, Deritend and of course St Martin.
