Where is 'Handwich' (?) near Bredon, Worcestershire
« on: Friday 18 February 22 03:53 GMT (UK) »
I'm reading this as Handwich but can't find it on a map.
I first thought it said Nanchurch but it's not an N (see 'November') and there's a dot there making an i.
Any idea's as to where this place is/was (or have I got the name wrong) ?
It refers to an 1882 birth and is from a copy of the entry obtained in 1935.
Thanks.

Agree - It was the first name I thought of before seeing Donna's suggestion
