Measham,Parish Records.
« on: Wednesday 17 June 09 18:18 BST (UK) »
Hi

Could anyone please tell me where the Parish Registers for Measham as it seem`s to be unclear if it is/was in Liecestershire or Derbyshire.

Would be grateful for any help

Regards Bob.

I think you'll find that the parish records for Measham are held at Lichfield.  Though if you have a LDS family History Centre near you they can order the micro film in for viewing there, the reference numbers are in the library catalogue.
Smith-Somerset 1806
Oliver-Thorverton 1800
Fowler- Wooton-U-Edge 1780
Page - Wooton-U-Edge 1760
Bishop Wolverhampton 1795
Witham-Fyfield 1782
Attwood -Rowley Regis 1780
Perry - Oldswinford -1750
Edmunds-Oldswinford -1730
Warr - Dudley- 1758
Sowden- Cradley -1749

Suthewike - Oldswinford- 1614

Hi Bob

I have some copies of Measham registers (mainly marriages) on fiche I bought them from Leics RO at Wigston,  so I assume they have the originals.  L&RFHS sell transcripts covering the period up to 1812 (I also have these on fiche)

Who are you after?

Hi Bob,

I have been to the Leicestershire records office in Wigston and they have a full set of the Measham Parish records. I have some relatives that are from Measham and have been looking them up. The records before 1814 are a bit hard to read, but the rest are in great shape!
