Jackie and Ponjalow,

I'm about to try sending index results by PM.

a few notes:
1. with so many entries, there are bound to be some typos.  However, many of the name variants are actually in the index.

2. I have tried to copy the index faithfully (even when I know that is is wrong!), so even my family names have been reported incorrectly on occasion.

3. The index was possibly only created some time after the registers were already in existence.  First names in the registers are usually latinised, English versions in the index may have been translated back from Latin, so you need to be aware of convergences (e.g. I have a Nancy, this would be Anna in Latin and is recorded as Anne in the index).  Some names in the index are still in Latin.

4. The full registers for Holy Trinity are available on microfilm at the Birmingham Diocesan Archives up to 23/8/1908.  You need to make an appointment to see them as the archivist is only there part-time (and usually very busy).  After that the registers are not viewable directly but you can request a copy of an entry from the parish priest (probably a very busy man too).

5. As the index goes on up to the 1940s, some of the information I am sending would probably be considered still sensitive, so be careful how/where you display it.

I hope that it's useful,

I have never seen so much about Bilston before! My link is through my grandmother  Norah Lillian Delany, who was born there in the 1890's(not got my file to hand as I'm just going away for a few days and its in the car!)

Hiya

On Bilston Street there was the Garricks Head, The Blue Bell, The Crown and Cushion, Red Cow, Bulls Head and the True Briton. Heres a picture of the Garricks Head http://shireweb.net/wolverhamptonbak/picturesview.php?ID=110

Unfortunately I dont have street numbers for them yet. 42 Church Street was a drapers (which I think has since closed) I will keep looking. Tony will be able to tell us when he gets online

Also this is a link for the inhabitants of Bilston in 1695 for everyone else http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/STS/Bilston/1695.html

Thank you for the links for pictures of The Fighting Cocks / Garricks Head.
I was probably being simplistic assuming Charles Beynon linked to 3 addresses selling beer from 1901 to approx 1930's would be easy to gain more information on - looks like Wolverhampton boasted a huge number of drinking establishments!
Curious that 42 Church st (selling beer from 1904 directory) turned out to be a draper's rather than a pub?
Many thanks
AJ

Hiya AJ

Thats what it has been in recent years but it could have been a public house before that. I will have to have a look at the building

Even if your relative ran a pub it doesnt always mean that they lived on the premises so 42 could have been his home address or an off licence

Hi Sheila

Does your A to D index include marriages?
If so could you tell me names of witnesses at the marriage of Margaret Doyle and John O'Donnell Dec. Qtr 1855?

Thanks.
