Worcester help

[Eastbury]

Hi
The GRO indices which are in name order are known to have a number of discrepancies when compared with the local Registrar’s Office (RO) original records. I suggest you contact the local RO as I understand they index their records by church not surname.

All Worcestershire records are now held at the Register Office, County Hall, Worcester and as you know, the church, date and names and addresses of both the bride and groom the search should be straightforward – I hope!

This has a link to ordering a copy certificate.

Hi Dee Hi (sorry I couldnt resist it lol)

If you get the chance to visit the Hive Worcester to search parish registers I think it would be worth your while looking at the registers for St Martin Worcester, its just a hunch but they sometimes pay off

All the very best

Hi Dee

Ive been having a look on free bmd & this is the best I can find Alice Dayus birth registered Sep 1/4 1860 Tenbury dist
Louisa Dayus birth registered Dec 1/4 1868 Tenbury dist

To me it looks like it could be 2 siblings & I was going to have a look at Claines & St Martins when Im in Worcestershire from Monday next but to be honest I dont think its worth it as I personally dont think it looks like the children were born in WOR

All the very best

Phil

ps if I get time I'll have a shufty at Claines & St Martin registers

Hi Dee

First of all I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions when I looked at Free BMD should I

On Tues at the 1871 census for Louisa & found this
CLAINES 1871
Richard Dayus Hd M 23 Shoemaker (Journeyman)        St Peters Worcester
Mary         "    Wf  M                                                   Cheltenham GLS
Alice         "     dr       9  Scholar                                  Claines   WOR
Louisa       "     dr       7       "                                          "           "

I then searched the parish registers of Claines baptisms from start of 1861 - end of 1870 & did find the entry for Alice
8OCT1861 Alice d/o Richard/Mary Dayus   Britannia Road    Cordwainer  Page 58 No 460
but could find no entry for Louisa so expanded my search a bit
Worcester St Martin start of 1961 - end of 1865 (no Dayus entries)
Hindlip start of 1861 - end of 1871                    ("        "        "    )
Warndon "     " 1860 -  "     " 1874                     ("        "       "    )
Hallow     "    "  1860 -  "     " 1870                     ( "       "       "     )
Grimley   "     "  1860 -  "    "  1872                    ( "        "       "     )
Ombersley "    " 1861 - "    "   1868                    ( "       "        "    )
Claines (just for the name Louisa) 1863 -1868  (only 2 baps but nothing like Dayus)
Claines marriages 1884 - 1892         (no entries for Dayus as brides)

All I can surmise is that Louisa was probably baptised in either her father or mothers parish or the family may have moved before she was baptised so I think the best thing you can do is send for (what you believe) is her birth certificate but specify the names of the parents on the application to make sure you only get the certificate that applies to Louisa.

I wish I could have found Louisa but think it very unlikely that I would miss her as I searched the registers at least 3 times

Good hunting

All the very best

Phil
