Update re George Bradburn .

Joined the army at age 25 years in 1833 says from Great Haywood ,Staffordshire .
Occupation engineer before enlistment.
Sailed to India on ship 'Hindustan'
Still no info found for his birth , parents etc. Help!
I believe Great Haywood came under Colwich parish much later but what parish at the time of his birth, 1807-1808?

GenUKI page for Colwich states:
Haywood, Great and Little, are two neat villages, near Colwich, the latter three and a half, and the former four miles NW of Rugeley. Great Haywood has 765 inhabitants, and Little Haywood 519 inhabitants, 252 of the former and 49 of the latter are in Stowe parish.

 What a delightful description of Colwich and surrounding villages. Wouldn't  you think it would be easy to find the records of an ancestor from such a tiny village??

Thanks K Garrard.
I notice you research the Sims family. My Sims family were originally from Kent..

The GenUKI quote was taken from a Gazetteer of 1851, and shows that approx 1/3 of the Great Haywood residents were in Stowe parish, and the remaining 2/3 were in Colwich parish.
So you would need to check both parishes.

That's always assuming your chap was born/baptised there!

My mother was a Sims - but the family were always in Wiltshire (traced back to mid-1500s).
