Farmers in the Worcester area

This page contains data which I have analysed from research into parish registers, the IGI and census returns. All being well the analysis is accurate but if there are mistakes then they are mine alone and I apologise. Like everyone else, I'm human (honest) so please use this list as it is intended and check back against the original documents to be sure. Happy hunting.

I welcome any comments or contact from other researchers of 'my' names. To get in touch all you have to do is to click on send mail to Graham @ JiGraH.
