HiYall
My Knight family originated from Martin Hussingtree near Droitwich in the early to mid 1800's
Does anyone have access to the Parish Registers at Martin? Or does anyone know of where I can buy them on microfiche?
Cheers
Jan :-*

Hi
what do you want to know? My husband has Knight in his tree so I will look for you next time I go to Worcs. It may be a while, a month or so, but I will be going.

Hi Avril
:D
Thanks for your kind Offer - next time you are going could you please look up a marriage for me ::) Only if you have the time of course
Mary Knight married Joseph Dovey 29 May 1939 at Droitwich - could you look up father's names, occupations and witnesses please.
Thanks
Jan :-*

I have not forgotten you-hoping to visit The Hive next week. The History Centre and Worcester Records Office, library etc now all in one building-opened by the Queen just last week

Thank you very much Avril :-*
I will be cheeky and ask - only if you have the time - I wont be offended if you dont have the time!
I have another look up (Brick wall really)
Amelia Salome Wade married Charles John T Ward in Kidderminster 1885 (June qtr) I am having trouble tracking her down so details of their marriage - ages, fathers, addresses and witnesses would really help - the family were in the St George Ecc. District in 1881 so if you have the time, then could you try St George's for me,
No worries if you cant fit me in!
Cheers

Hi Jan
I went to The Hive on Monday but no luck- I searched St Peters', St Nicholas and St Andrews in Droitwich but found nothing. Are you sure it was Droitwich itself or another parish in Droitwich registration district?
As to Ward =Wade- I searched St Georges, St Marys and St Johns=no luck.
Could they have been non conformists?
Will try again next visit

Hi Jan
If you are confident that the Ward-Wade marriage is definitely the one you need, wouldn't a certificate give you all the info?
-
Hi Avril
Sorry for the late reply - been away
Thank you for taking the time to look up the marriages for me - much appreciated. You are a star!
I'm afraid I made a mistake on my post as Joseph Dovey and Mary Knight married 1839 not 1939 as I put previously - so sorry for wasting your time :(
StintonLomas - Amelia Wade is very distant to me and I do realise that the marriage cert will tell me more - BUT £9.25 for information on a distant relative is a bit too much to pay out at the mo. As I knew Avril was visiting, I asked if it was possible to look them up, which she very kindly did.
Thanks once again Avril, very sorry for the mistake
Happy Hunting everyone ;)
Cheers

Hi Jan
I should be going on holiday to the county of my birth in about a weks time so will have a look for that marriage on my first visit to the HIVE & when in WOR I like to go to Worcester City once a week at least as I was born there & know it quite well.
I'll let you have all the details from that marriage as son as I can after finding them
All the very best
Phil
ps I see that you are researching the name Holiday & I wonder if by chance its the ones from MartleyWOR that originally came from Badgeworth in GLS as if so were probably cousins of some sort
