A lot of OH's side were Roman Catholic. Years ago I was sent some sketchy info for part of it and am now thinking about going into it more thoroughly.
This family were from Coton in Staffordshire and the dates are going to be around the 1750-1800 time, mostly baptisms and burials.
I'm thinking that the nearest church would be in Stafford, but then it occured to me that Catholics were prohibited from legally practicing their faith for some time.
Anyone know when they were allowed again and the building of Catholic churches began?
I have a marriage in 1821 for St Mary's Stafford, but there seems to be a few of that name and was it RC?
Also one on the IGI in 1775 for Tixall, Staffs. RC or not?
