May I first of all thank you for the wonderful village site that you and your team have produced. If only all villages could do the same. I first found your site a couple of years ago and it gave me a really good start to my search for the family tree. You have obviously worked very hard since then and I was delighted to be able to now go back (I think), a lot further.
My interest is in the Jones family who lived, in my grandfather's time, in Bretforton. Like most researchers I started with the census in 1901 and found:
In 1901, Walter Jones 31, born Bretforton and his wife Frances and 4 boys, one of whom would become my grandfather.
In 1891, aged 22 with his parents, Thomas 70 b. Badsey, and Elizabeth (neé) Sorrel 65, b. Harvington.
In 1881 he was 12, with Thomas 60, Elizabeth 56. Here you have Thomas as a Badsey Stray.
...
Could you please point me in the direction of any further information?
