Hi Everyone, I am the coordinator for the county of Staffordshire in the FreeREG project, whose goal is to transcribe the church and chapel registers of the UK and put them online for free. This is a volunteer project, and I would like to invite you to become a transcriber. We have many images of or...

Hi,

Here is a website with lots of lore on parish registers of the Black Country, both Anglican and nonconformist:

showing where they are located, what date ranges are covered, what transcriptions are available, and much more.

best wishes,

I still have not found the desired marriage record, so you can move this thread to the brickwalls section.

I haven't found this marriage record. But I did learn about the Stamp Duty Act of 1783 which affected the recording of marriages (and presumably baptisms and burials) from 1784 until 1794. Apparently the 3d duty on each parish register entry caused some events to not be recorded at all, while others...

Sorry if this is a duplicate post, but I just got an email about an online petition to open the BMD registers to the public
and though I should pass it on:

Thanks for that Dale will add to Bcc courtesy of yourself what is the castlegarden.org ? do you have the link? Sorry for not explaining about Castle Garden (thanks to RF for providing the full link). That was the immigration authority in New York City which preceded Ellis Island. Although Ellis Isl...

I have some information about Abigail Braden, m She was baptised in St Martin, Tipton (as were her siblings): 15 March 1835, Abigail, daughter of William and Mary Braden, abode Horseley, miner, performed by J. Howells But she seems to have been several years old when she was baptised, because the 19...

In a previous post I noted that one of the children of William and Hannah Braden (m) was a daughter named Hannah, baptised in 1796 at St Thomas, Dudley. I think she married Stephen Bate in Tipton in 1819. Here is the FreeReg record: Place Tipton Church St. Martin MarriageDate 08 Mar 1819 GroomForena...

I have collected some information on the children of William and Hannah Braden for BCC, m If added to BCC, this can be moved to archives. The following baptisms are from the FreeReg transcriptions of the registers of St Thomas, Dudley, except for the first record, which I transcribed myself from a m...

Thanks, Jo, you can archive this one. The marriage is already posted on brickwalls. I will hunt some more for their baptisms.

I found a bit more information on this thread. I found a baptism record for another child of William and Hannah in St Thomas, Dudley: Margaret dr. of William and Hannah Briden 7 October 1792 which pushes the marriage date back even further. I also located census records for Hannah, who survived her ...

Hi All, I am trying to find a marriage record for a man named William Breadon and a woman named Hannah. William's surname could also be spelled Breeden, Braden, Braiden, even Brydean or with almost any vowel combination in either syllable. William and Hannah baptised at least 4 of their children in ...
