PopT Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Can anyone let me know where St James Church, Handsworth is. It has come up on my family records and I wondered if there was any graves there? I would appreciate if anyone would let me know. Happy Days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuppie Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi PopT St James church is actually at Tithe Barn Lane Woodhouse. This was designated an ecclisiastical district in 1875 and became a seperate parish, created from Handsworth, when the church was built in 1878. Before the church was built services were held in the Endowed school. The church was built on the site of Handsworth tithe barn, on land donated by Thomas Cadman. Before this Woodhouse was in the parish of Handsworth St Marys. There are no burial registers for St James only Baptisms from 1875 and Marriages from 1878. There is a cemetery ar Revill Lane which is close by this also opened in 1875 and another at Stradbroke Road which was originally a burial ground of Handsworth Burial Board and opened in 1879. I have the burial transcriptions for Revill Lane. Tuppie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
