Viktoria and Decor, thank you so much for your kind offers of help.
I will try and attach the three documents to this reply but I have never done an attachment before so fingers crossed.
Yes Viktoria please feel free to send them to anyone who can help.

Zefiro, thank you for pointing that out. I did correct myself in the body of the text but forgot to change the title.

Thanks again everyone.

Cheshire / Re: Stretton Parish, Great Broughton 1861 Census
« on: Wednesday 14 May 25 21:46 BST (UK)  »
DCB and Alan Boyd, Thank you so much for those really helpful posts. No wonder I could not find Martha if her age has been mis-transcribed as 24. I'm not sure what I did wrong when looking for Stretton Parish in the address search though. I obviously need to hone my skills on that one.
Thanks again, that is definitely our Martha.
I am not sure about Ann Chesters, Martha and her husband Thomas had a number of sons. I have not gone in to those yet but it may well be the widow of one of their sons though they did have a daughter called Anne baptised along with two siblings in 1814.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Any Belgian Speakers Out There

Hi Folks,
After many years I have finally managed to track down the birth records for an ancestor which subsequent censuses showed was born in Belgium. She and her brother were born in Ghent, where the brother died very young. I have copies of the Belgian records but I do not have translations. This is a long shot but if anyone does speak Belgian / Flemish I would be very grateful if they would be prepared to have a go at translating my documents.
Thanks for looking.

Cheshire / Stretton Parish, Great Broughton 1861 Census
« on: Wednesday 14 May 25 11:22 BST (UK)  »
Hi Folks, I am struggling to find a census return in 1861 for Martha Chesters born circa 1786-90. She is in the 1851 census and her burial is recorded under that name in 1865 in Acton. She was a farmer of 300 acres in 1851. I tried to do a search by address on FindMyPast for 1861 but I cannot find the parish of Stretton, Great Broughton.
I have come across a few Welsh parishes that are missing in 1861 but none in England so far. Is anyone aware that Stretton parish is missing or have I just messed up my address search on FindMyPast?
Thanks for looking

Sorry Ciderdrinker, I am okay on BMD etc but I am struggling to find sources for the Court Rolls, Bond of Indemnity etc. Are you finding them on Ancestry or Warwickshire or Worcestershire County Archives please?

Good Morning Cider Drinker,

Wow! I am really grateful for this. I have alternated between Ancestry and FindMyPast over the years and that document has never come up on my searches. Although to be fair, it is probably a couple of years since I have looked at this line. Thanks to you I have now found the Bishop's Transcript on Ancestry and I will have an enjoyable morning researching the rest.
It probably is our William Hunt that had to do the penance because he seems to have married Elizabeth. She died in 1703 though.

ps I did contact Warwickshire County Archives, as suggested by BumbleB and they were very helpful but could not move the matter forward for me.
