would there be a record of who would of been the vicars in lincolnshire in the 1920s, and how would you go about looking for them.
-
I think I am right in saying, there is a book called Crockfords it lists vicars and their various appointments. I know our local Library used to have one. I am not too sure of the dates as a while ago. This might be something to go on!

There is this Clergy database searchable I believe by area as well as name

There is a new Clergy of the church of England database at http://theclergydatabase.org.uk/jsp/persons/index.jsp
This seems to be an updated version of the one mentioned by Rosie (which I used to use)
You can search by name or parish (assuming you know the Diocese), I am not sure of it goes up to 1920 though

Only goes up to 1835. :( http://theclergydatabase.org.uk/index.html

Rosie, no problem, I only found the updated version last night ;D

Crockfords is an annual publication. (Near-) complete runs are available at the Society of Genealogists library and in the National Archives library; my guess is that a few big libraries will also keep complete runs, rather than just retaining the most recent one. Each entry gives the clergyman's name, education, and appointments.
