400 years’ worth of records from Worcestershire, England now available to search on Ancestry

Ancestry recently added almost three million records from the Worcestershire archives in England to its website.

The records are Bishop’s Transcripts, which are copies of parish register entries of baptism, marriages, and burials.

The four new collections are:

  • Worcestershire, England, Church of England Births and Baptisms, 1812-1918
  • Worcestershire, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1935
  • Worcestershire, England, Church of England Deaths and Burials, 1813-1918

The good news continues for those whose ancestors lived in Worcestershire because the collection will grow with the addition of parish records next year.

Learn more on the Explore the Past blog, which is managed by the county’s Archive and Archaeology service.

The bad news is I don’t have any ancestors who lived in Worcestershire.
