Hi
My G Grandparents lived in the villages surrounding Stratford and died within months of each other in 1903. the registration district is Stratford however in 1901 they were living in Old Drayton having searched several graveyards in the surrounding area I have not found them, I know they are not in Evesham Road as there is a good online register and have isited this to find their Daughter Ellen Bailey.
Their names were Henry Hopkins 1832 -1903 and Keziah Hopkins nee Hancox 1839-1903
is any one able to shed any light? :-)

Send a PM to Victor who very kindly offers NBI lookup

But bear in mind that their grave(s) may not now be marked.............
