Whiting Road, Berrow, Tewkesbury, Worcestershire/Gloucestershire ?!

[sophiewilliams]

Some help from people with local knowledge of the area please!

I'm confused ... On the 1911 Census my ancestors are shown as living at the above address - shown in the subject bar above - I thought Tewkesbury was in Gloucestershire?..I am prepared to be corrected and appreciate boundary changes.

I am looking to find school records for the girls at this address and wondered if anyone would know what school they would likely to have attended so I can contact the correct county records office!

Many thanks for reading and helping!

The parish of Berrow is in Worcestershire on the boundary of Gloucestershire to the south.  Tewkesbury is the nearest town but in Gloucestershire

The details of the parish on Genuki may be of use and includes a link to some transcriptions of the parish records http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/WOR/Berrow/

Hi,
I think you'll find that Tewkesbury is the Registration District for Berrow, although it is in Worcs.

Worcester archives have some records for the national school at berrow, but they don't seem to have any pupil records, only admin. notes.

I cannot see any other school they could have attended, its not a very large place

Thanks Mike ... Maybe I need to look into those records. Guess Worcestershire archives have a website?  Will have a look.

Thanks again
