Hi Bobbi

Im on Christmas/New Year holiday in the county of my birth & as I was born in Astwood Rd (a long way from the cemetery) I will have a look at the burial registers for the Cemetery for you

All the very best

Thank you so much, Phil.  I am also a long way from the cemetery, in the U.S. I really appreciate your offer to look up that information for me. I was told that my family used to take the train to Weston-super-Mare for a holiday. As a child, I remember thinking it was Western-super-Mare and wondering if they ever went to Eastern-super-Mare instead.

I hope you have an enjoyable holiday.

Well, I'm a little choked up here, Phil, as I'm so thrilled to have this information. It is more than I was even hoping for. I hope that you were not greatly inconvenienced in locating this news of the final resting place of my grandfather.

All the immediate family had moved from Worcester to Canada and the U.S. by this time. My father last saw my grandfather in 1929.

This is a huge piece of my family history now in place, thanks to you.

Please accept my most heart-felt appreciation.

Hi Bobbi

Think nothing of it & in answer to your question - it put me to no trouble at all & if you would like me to do any look ups for you in Worcester (if you know the parish & or rough year to search) I will be glad to try my best on another holiday as its easier for me to do it that you 

All the very best

Phil

ps I do a lot of look ups for rootschat members (when able) as I have had a lot of help from these pages in the past

Hi Barbara

Try this - type "polycarp" into google & you will get a lot of references to Redditch fishing tackle

All the very best

Hello Phil,

Nice to hear from you. Thanks for continuing to offer suggestions. Google. Why didn't I think of that?
I'm looking for complicated things to try and haven't even tried Google. So I will do that for Polycarp.

I have spent time at the local FHC and looked on Find My Past, The Genealogist and Ancestry. Still trying to find more pieces to the puzzle and see how they fit. I believe that I have found the parents of Hubert Allcock to be John Allcock and Jane Harris Allcock, married in 1847. Hubert was born in 1849. A Hubert is on a census with them as a 22-year-old.

I am also trying to identify which John Thompson in Worcester/Redditch is mine. John is the brother-in-law of the Harold Stone whose burial location you were kind enough to find for me.

John is the son of Joseph Thompson and Bridget Rainsford Thompson. I have found very little about him as the name is so common in that area with many John Thompsons being around the same age.

I found Information on a Mt. Carmel Catholic Church, Redditch, baptism record in which Thompson was spelled Thomson and Bridget was spelled Bridgette with a maiden name of Rainsford. The birth date showed as 12 March 1856.

That would fit as John's older sister was born in 1850 (Dublin) and his younger sister was born in 1861 (Shrewsbury).

I've lost John as an adult and don't know if he married or to whom. I have a photo taken by my father in the late 1920s of an older gentleman labeled "Uncle Jack," so he lived to be an older age. So I'll keep looking.

Thanks again, for your help, Phil.
