ST Michael, Bedwardine Parish Registers -- Banks.

[narelle]

From the National Burial Index. 

23/8/1831    Edwin Banks    3m   Worcs, St Michael
14/1/1834    Helen Banks    18m  Wocs,  St Michael
14/6/1838    Sarah Banks    38    Worcs , St Michael

Please is there someone who could look in the Parish Records for any information about these people?

Do they belong to the same family?

My great great grandmother, Eliza Banks,  when she married in Sydney, NSW, Australia in 1856, listed her mother as "Sarah".  I don't know if this is the correct Sarah.  Her father was John but I don't know when or where he died.

I believe that Edwin was her brother.  I don't know about Helen.

Are there details of other Banks buried in the parish in the 19th century?

I am not familiar with British records so I do not know if I am asking the correct questions.

Are records of Christenings and  marriages available in the parish records?

Thank you for your help.
Narelle.

While you are waiting.....
I wonder if Eliza's father remarried?
The IGI   
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true
has the following bpts for parents John and Sarah,

bpt at St Michael Bedwardine
Caroline 5/12/1826
Eliza 25/12/1827
Mary Ann 7/2/1830
Edwin 29/5/1831

Plus at a Methodist chapel ? same couple
William Henry 1/6/1834
Enoch 24/4/1836

and at St Swithin
Ellen Mildred 22/11/1833

The 1851 census has

+2 servants

So far so good, then I looked in IGI for a marriage for John and found:
John Banks to Hannah Tyler, 15/10/1832, St Michael Bedwardine
so if this does all go together then Sarah presumeably died between Edwin's birth and John's remarriage ie 1831-1832
(Comes with a public health warning that it might all be a load of rubbish )
