Hi Arronroots, Darcey and David

The person who gave me the details off the 1851 census is trying to find him on the 1841.....and he's not showing under Pendock.

CAZ

HA HA...Im Back again

Just looked at my Gt Gt Nans Marraige Certificate.

She was born in Berrow, Worcestershire.

The marraige took place in the Parish of Berrow
County of Worcester
Reg District Upton upon Severn.


Does that help anymore.

Hi Caz, ;D

maybe it is Powick then - it's in the right place. Let us know when you eventually track them down.

Cheers Darcy ;)

Thanks alot for that Phil.

As yet i still have'nt managed to find which place it was.
The person who sent me the census image has tried looking for John James on the 1841 census under various birth places.....but cant find him.
The image for 1851 is quite clear until you come to read where he's actually from........something, Worcestershire.

Have you found them on a series on censuses, to see what each one offers on place of birth?

If you post names and ages etc, I have every confidence that the great Rootschat crowd will help out.
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex
