Claines has a comprehensive set of records for the Family Historian. However very few ancient records are held at Claines Church. The following registers are available on microfilm at the Worcester Family History Centre:
- Christenings:1538-
1937 - Marriages: 1540-
1955 - Burials: 1540-
1948
Claines Friends can possibly directly help with the following:
- Christenings: since 1937
- Marriages: since 1955
- Burials: since 1948
We can also undertake the following:
- Search of monuments (graves) by name from 1860 to date (with a few earlier)
- Provide electronic photographs of monuments
- Provide local knowledge on old place names, houses etc. and occasionally photographs
- Provide more detailed Census searches for Claines (1841 and every 10 years until 1901)
We do not charge for the above but encourage donations to the Church Funds.
