Hi Everyone- Having researched my tree back to John HUGHES in Rushbury in 1736 I have come to a halt. Records from Rushbury Church seem to have disappeared. I have in the past paid visits to the Shropshire Archives and also to Hereford to review Bishops Transcripts but no luck. Has anyone any clues re the whereabouts of any Rushbury Church records prior to 1736?

Many thanks, Ben Hughes

Hello Ben

The Rushbury, Shropshire parish registers survive from 1538 (the earliest date for any parish registers) but there are some gaps between 1545 and 1684.

There is an indexed unprinted transcript at Shropshire Archives 1538-1812.  These entries should be on the Family Search web site.

It might help if you use Steve Archer's Guide to Batches for Shropshire then you can select the entries for your surname in Rushbury parish.

The Rushbury registers are also included on the Find my Past web site (subscription or fee payable but free access at Shropshire Archives)
