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 Archives, 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.

Directories

An extract from the Topographical Dictionary of England 1831 by Samuel Lewis:

STANFORD, a parish in the upper division of the hundred of DODDINGTREE, county of WORCESTER, 8 miles (N. E. by N.) from Bromyard, containing 194 inhabitants. The living is a rectory, in the archdeaconry of Salop, and diocese of Hereford, rated in the king's books at £7. 4. 2 and in the patronage of Sir T. E. Winnington, Bart. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, was erected in 1768, in the later style of English architecture. The river Teme runs through the parish, which produces hops and abounds with limestone.
