The situation will be monitored and will be reviewed as and when the position changes.

In conjunction with The Friends of Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Archive Service, Midland Ancestors has part-funded a project to digitise some tithe maps for the period 1836-1845. The tithe schedules for the maps can be searched on Owner, Occupier, Parish or Plot Number. The plot numbers are clearly shown on the high quality map images. Parishes covered by our sponsorship of this project are :- Darlaston, Walsall, Wednesbury, Wednesfield, West Bromwich, Willenhall and Wolverhampton. The maps can be viewed in the Family History Centre at the BMI.
