Adforton Parish Records Query
« on: Sunday 22 March 09 09:43 UTC (UK) »
I have been looking for a birth in Adforton between 1837 - 1840 with no luck at all.

I am now looking at Parish Records. However, I am unable to locate a church in Adforton between 1837 - 1840.  Would anyone have any idea which Parishes may have been close and also where/who do you have to contact to get copies of their birth/christening Parish records. Do I just approach the Church direct.

Many thanks

Civil regsitration came into being in 1837 and Adforton births would now be in Leominster

Hi Tazzie and Puffcat,

It is my grt grt grandfather William Holloway.

There are a couple of inconsistencies over the years as expected - however the one constant is place of birth - Adforton, where he lived from birth until mid 1860's - 20 odd years before moving to Bucknell down the road.

1893 Death certificate - 28 May 1893 states is age as 47 - birth would be 1846
1891 census - in Bucknell has him as 48yrs - birth would be 1843
1881 census - Bucknell has him as 69! - looking closer at original census looks more like 39 - 1842
1871 census - Adforton has him as 31- birth 1840
1866 Marriage certificate - Parish of Clun - notes him as full age
1861 census - Adforton has him as 21 yrs - birth 1840
1851 Census - Adforton has him as 12yrs - birth 1839
1841 Census - questionable due to incorrect spelling Hawlway but still has him at 2yrs - birth 1839

I have purchased sibling birth certificates and they were both born in Adforton.
Eliza Holloway - 21 Oct 1841 - noted parents as William Holloway and Mary (No maiden name given).
George Holloway - 28 Sep 1847 - no father noted - mother Ann Holloway (1851 census states mother as Mary)

There is a William Holloway born in 1840 in Bromyard - this is not him as GRO advised father not William Holloway.

This is why I think I need to purchase Parish records to try and locate him. However, this I have never done before and not sure who to approach. Puffcat you advised Adforton births would now be at Leomister - but who would hold the records - Council, Church not sure who to approach - any thoughts/advice would be well received. I live in Australia, and so have no way of getting there and do not know the area except via Google Earth!!

Many thanks for your time.

Cheers

Try Wigmore Abbey. Following website gives details of the various churches.

Also looking up Adforton on GENUKI website may help you
