death certificate
« on: Sunday 06 July 14 18:10 BST (UK) »
 have just received a death certificate for an ancestor I'm researching that lived in Wolverley Worcestershire.  The death certificate is registered in Kidderminster but in the column for when and where died it says the date 8 December 1842 and then what looks like the word Foreign or Horeign or Floreign.  Is there a place called this around Wolverley?  Surely if it said Foreign the death certificate wouldn't be registered in Kidderminster.  has anyone got any ideas?

From Worcestershire County Council's Kidderminster Foreign Parish Council web page

Quote
Kidderminster Foreign derives its name from an old word forain, meaning outside. The Parish once included land that surrounded the very restricted limits of the Borough of Kidderminster. As the town grew, the “foreign” contracted until the present Parish of the Foreign comprises only the hamlets of Trimpley and Low Habberley and the Northwood area on the east bank of the River Severn.
