Stroud Area Genealogy . Notes on the parishes and villages surrounding Stroud which will hopefully assist family historians in adding depth to the basic births, baptism, marriage and death records of their ancestors. The notes are taken from odd fragments of information gleaned over the years, and have no specific format. Much of the information is second or even third hand, and should therefore be checked against the original record.
Information is added regularly.
Notes on errors, omissions and additions are always welcomed. Maps showing surrounding area are available from the Multimap and UK Streetmaps links on the Gloucestershire Links page. Woodchester Information on Stroud is given on a separate page Refer to Records Page for other villages not listed above Avening Holy Cross Church. Norman, partially restored about 1887. Baptist Chapel .
