Hello All
So, did he? He's not with the rest of the family on the 1851 census.
Where do you look for deaths in Warwickshire other than Family Search (new to Warwickshire research)
Thank you
Jan Moon

Hi well their is always Freebmd:-

Death Joseph Adam Bishop June qtr 1846 Tamworth v16 page 337 ( Tamworth is the RD for Wilnecote)

But found his burial:-

PS Tamworth is in Staffordshire, but Wilnecote was in Warwickshire!

Thanks so much for that.
Confusing, is there a border near by?

I always forget Freebmd, mostly because I can never anything on there.
Regards

Hi

Yes, the border of the county boundary is very confusing.

Wilnecote is now in Staffordshire, it was absorbed, along with a few other villages in the 1960s.
At one time Tamworth was divided between the two counties and had two town halls.

The parish records for Wilnecote are now housed at Stafford RO, also now available on Findmypast under the Staffordshire collections, but some records like land tax and some quarter session records are still deposited at Warwick RO.

And just to confuse matters even further, you even even find that later BMD records for Wilnecote are listed against Sutton Coldfield rather than Tamworth.
