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.

Welcome to Rootschat, Blacksmith. :)
I wonder if this information would be useful on the Northamptonshire board?
EDIT or as I now see, in WORCESTERSHIRE (should have looked at the site before concluding you were the Northamptonshire Wollaston) :-[

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. ::)
