Hi Sue. I think he was born in Droitwich, but im not sure where he was baptised. I have been to the excellent family history centre in Worcester, but could not find anything. I will let you know if I find anything. Regards, Ian

Hi Ian
The names on the Warr gravestone to the left of your ancestor Benjamin Warr’s, are familiar to me as they appear in Fetherstone wills. So I can help to shed a little light on that Warr family.
James Warr’s wife Sarah, was the daughter of Francis Fetherstone the Elder, a victualler, of Finstall Heath, Stoke Prior , Worcs. In Francis’ will written on 18 July 1829, he named his children Martha, Francis, John, late son James Fetherstone and “Sarah the wife of James Warr of Kings Swinford in the county of Stafford Brickmaker" .
Sarah Fetherstone married James Warr on 29 March 1796 at St Micheal’s, Stoke Prior, Worcs
When Francis Fetherstone the Elder’s daughter, Martha Fetherstone, of High Street, Bromsgrove, Worcs. died in 1853 she left a bequest to her nephews and nieces Benjamin Warr, William Warr, John Warr, Elizabeth wife of John Sideway and Martha wife of Frederic Preston. (No “k “at the end of the first name in the will.)
I too found the births of all James and Sarah’s children on the IGI - except for Benjamin!! Perhaps you need to look in Stoke Prior? The relevant period for Stoke Prior is not on the IGI.
James and Sarah’s children, Francis and Anne, are not mentioned in Martha Fetherstone’s will, so I assume that they had already died.

Hi all
Nemo - Thats interesting as I know my family were brickmakers. I cant find a definite link between James and Sarah and my Benjamin, although I guess your information would suggest they were his parents (unless Francis Featherstone the Elder had another Daughter who also married a Warr!!)
This seems to contradict the information I have from the man who sent me the photo of the graves. He has Sarah's maiden name as Davies with them being married on 16 September 1792 in Kingswinford, Staffs and their children being:
Francis Warr (b 1797, d1867)
James Warr (b 1803, d 1871)
William Warr (b 13/12/1804 d1852)
Elizabeth Warr (b1806)
Anne Warr (b 1809)
John Warr (b1811)
Martha Warr (b1813 d 23/06/1884)
Mary Warr (b 1816)
Aaarghh im confused!!

Hi all
Reading this thread I have to agree with Ian that your Warr families rate a long and loud Aaarghh!!
Ian - If your contact is correct and James Warr did marry Sarah Davies in 1792, then you need to bump her off prior to March 1796 when James married Sarah Featherstone! The latter’s marriage licence may provide additional info. Such as “James Warr widower”. The witnesses named in the parish register were Josiah and Sarah Abbott. He was the parish clerk at Stoke Prior. So that's no help.
Francis Fetherstone’s will definitely states that his daughter was “Sarah the wife of James Warr of Kings Swinford in the county of Stafford Brickmaker"
It seems reasonable that James Warr and Sarah nee Fetherstone should name their first child Francis after her father.
You mentioned that you went to Worcester, looking for the birth/baptism of your Benjamin Warr which you think took place in Droitwich. Did you look at the Bishop’s Transcripts for Droitwich, St Nicholas? I see from the Worcestershire Archives website that the parish registers pre 1870 don’t exist, but the Bishop’s Transcripts do. They should have them on film.
