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.

Census returns can usually be viewed at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' Family History Centres.

Directories

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

TIDMINGTON, a parish forming, with Shipston upon Stour and Tredington, a detached portion of the upper division of the hundred of OSWALDSLOW, county of WORCESTER, being locally in the Kington division of the hundred of Kington, county of Warwick, 1½ mile (S. by E.) from Shipston upon Stour, containing 70 inhabitants. The living is a rectory with Shipston upon Stour, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Worcester. The church is partly in the early style of English architecture, and partly of later date. Tidmington and Shipston upon Stour were formerly townships in the parish of Tredington, from which they were separated by act of parliament, in the 6th of George I., and made a distinct parish; on this occasion the rectory of Tredington was divided into three parts.
