Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Marriage Cert

I agree. Looks as if the person got in a muddle and called Jane’s rank “Gentleman” and her father James “Gentlewoman”!

Worcestershire / Re: Access to original Halesowen parish registers
« on: Thursday 18 July 24 15:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi Tom
Ancestry has the Bishop's Transcripts of Worcestershire parish registers, as mentioned above.
I was in Worcester this morning so checked the microfilm of the actual Halesowen Parish Register Volume 10. Prudence's baptism states that she was the "Daughter of Gabriel & Sarah Little". Not Littley as on the Bishop's Transcript)
The only Gabriel Little in the Worcestershire Marriage Index, which doesn't seem to include Halesowen marriages, was Gabriel Little to Sarah Print on December 20 1784 at Beckford which is about 40 miles from Halesowen. . .

Interesting FindMyPast shows original GRO index page with the name as Rhoda Enye between Entwistle and Epps. Also on FindMyPast transcription of burial records by Sussex Family History Group has Rhoda Errey born 1789 buried aged 52 at Cade St Independent, Heathfield, Sussex on 4th October 1841.

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Derrington
« on: Tuesday 30 January 24 09:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
The mother of the children you have listed is shown as Elizth (Elizabeth), only the un-named child has a mother stated as Eliza.
Thomas Derrington of Stoke Prior married Betty (diminutive of Elizabeth) Leeke of St Peter’s, Droitwich at Stoke Prior on 30 December 1780. They had two children Elizabeth Derington christened 3 February 1782 and Richard Derington christened 22 February 1784. The parents named as Thomas and Elizabeth. It seems that the family then moved about 6 miles to Feckenham where the children you have identified were christened.

It says Senectus Exhaustion (Old age exhaustion) with the first “e” having been missed out inserted over the top of Snectus.

Re Kay’s reply with contact details for Betty. Unfortunately looking on-line it seems Betty died in early 2021.

Hi
Betty Caswell wrote several books on Cookley. The Worcs Library Service has copies. If you don’t live in the County you maybe able to get them on an Inter Library Loan.

Hi
I’ve checked with a friend and the Plough Inn at Baughton became the Gay Dog and is now divided into two homes.
