My ggrtgrandfather GEORGE CLARKE gives three different places of birth on his census returns

KINGSTON
FLOCK BRADLEY it could be STOCK OR HOCK
STOCK GREEN

all in WOR.He married in 1849 in Hanbury and ended up in 1881 in STOKE PRIOR.

I have looked at various maps and can find Stock Green but the other two evade me. Does anyone have local knowledge to identify these places please?

Thanks

The answer to many such questions is in GenUKI.

"BRADLEY, a chapelry united with Stock, in the parish of Fladbury, hundred of Oswaldslow, in the county of Worcester, 6 miles to the E. of Droitwich. The living is a perpetual curacy annexed to the rectory of Fladbury, in the diocese of Worcester."

It's usually worth checking GenUKI for this sort of thing -

Also their parish search database can be useful -
