Records - Welford Parish, Northamptonshire

 
The Parish Church of St Mary The Virgin, Welford

These entries from the Welford Parish Registers were extracted by  Francis Howcutt and sent to me by Francis C. Wykes.  Since then Francis Howcutt discovered this web site and emailed me, much to my delight.  Francis has contributed the article Wickes At Welford - The People Beneath The Tombstones, which puts some flesh on the bare bones of these records.
