Census Records:
All the censuses between 1841 and 1901 are now available on a number of fee-paying (Subscription or PayAsYouGo) sites including Ancestry.co.uk, FindMyPast.co.uk, thegenealogist.co.uk and genesreunited.co.uk. The 1911 census is available in full or in part on some of these sites. We are unable to advise on the choice of site since researchers' personal preferences will be influenced by the content and search facilities offered by each site. Some sites offer a free trial.
Access to the library edition of Ancestry.co.uk is widely available at most record offices, including Worcestershire Library and History Centre, and some libraries. You are advised to book time on their computers before making a visit.
A free-to-view site is being developed at freecen.org.uk for the 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1891 censuses. Coverage of Worcestershire parishes is rather sparse at this time.
Census returns can usually be viewed at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' Family History Centres.

Directories:
TREDINGTON, a parish forming, with the parishes of Shipston upon Stour, and Tidmington, a distinct portion of the upper division of the hundred of OSWALDSLOW, county of WORCESTER, being locally in the Kington division of the hundred of KLNGTON, county of WARWICK, 2¼ miles (N.) from Shipston upon Stour, containing, with the hamlets of Armscott, BlackwelL, Darlingscott, and Newbold, 1032 inhabitants. The living is a rectory, in two portions, in the peculiar jurisdiction of the Rector, jointly rated in the king's books at £99.17.6 and in the patronage of the Principal and Fellows of Jesus' College, Oxford. The church is dedicated to St. Gregory. This parish was divided, under an act passed in the 6th of George I., when the townships of Shipston and Tidmington were separated from it, and constituted a distinct parish. The river Stour runs through the parish. Here was formerly a monastery, the remaining part of which is now the rectory house. There is a small endowed school in the parish.
