History of Wollaston Group (HOW)
« on: Sunday 20 November 11 21:18 GMT (UK) »
Wollaston, Stourbridge has an active local history group, and now has a new discussion forum where members can exchange information about the village, various apects about its history and the people who lived there, including the opportunity to research ancestors

It is a fledgling site, but as it grows so the information shared will be more useful.

If you are interested in joining this forum, please join at http://historyofwollaston.zymichost.com/index.php.

Thank you for reading this.  :)

Yes, Wollaston is very confusing. There are several in the country, and it's hard to pin my Wollaston into a particular county. As has been pointed out, it was in Worcestershire and is now in the West Midlands.

I wonder where they will move us next.  ::)
