    Default Identifying Place Name - Bromsgrove Area

    Hi there!

    I've just received a copy of an ancestor's will and it mentions land near Bromsgrove. I'm trying to identify it, the exact name (it's a little difficult to make out) and where exactly it is.

    The relevant line is halfway open this image.

    Weird. It works on my ipad. I'll get onto my PC and check it there.

    It works on my PC too, so I don't know what to suggest.

    I'm using an iPad. All I can see is a grey box. Weird indeed. I checked other uploaded images and I can see those.

    Okay, I changed the image to a jpg and uploaded it again, this time on my PC.

    Hi t@nya,

    I think the place is Sheepcote. It was/is close to the Perryfields Road junction with Stourbridge Road.

    According to the 1811 and 1821 census (found on the Bromsgrove BMSGH branch website https://www.bromsgrovebmsgh.co.uk/cms/ free registration) there were 5 properties there. They may or may not be part of the modern Sheepcote Grange buildings.

    Cheers

    Mike
