Don't know if this helps, but Pillows Green Lane runs from Malvern Road, Staunton around to Straight Lane (B4213 that leaves Staunton in an Eastwards direction). I live just around the corner and can take a wander for if you need any current information. Corse church is found 2-3 miles south of Staunton & Corse (the villages merge into each other). Staunton church is half a mile to the West of the village.

Many thanks to all who have helped.
I did not know about the mapping service on this site, it great.
This has to be a 6 star family history site, thanks to all who maintain and support it.
A happy forester.

Try the website

BRITISH HISTORY ON LINE

and search for Pillows Green, Gloucestershire (History of the County of Gloucester) - you will find under CORSE, HASFIELD AND TIRLEY (lying on the tongue of land between the Rivers Severn and Leadon, 6 miles NNW of Gloucester and 7 miles SW of Tewkesbury

Pillows Green, North East of Staunton End etc

again, on the BRITISH HISTORY ON LINE

use the 'map search' for CORSE - on this map, which you can enlarge - look for STAUNTON - and just North East - Pillows Green is clearly marked (map dated 1892). The Ordance Survey Numbers - 1.10.560 and 018/NW

Thanks Admin for the info.

However have been unable to trace 'Pillows Green'

Near to Blakeney, Glos there is a tiny hamlet called Pitchen Green, but has anyone heard of Pillows Green?

Thanks Forester

This is one of the records that is not on-line so you will not find it in the database.

Clara GITTINGS of Pillows Green, died 20-2-1960, buried 25-2-1960 aged 83.

Hi Fredb

Many Thanks

The Norfolk Clara married in 1913, and there is only one other possible marriage in wigan 1900, so if that's not her then it looks like she didn't marry.

In 1911 there are 4 Clara Gittings in England
the nearest home is in Dursley Glos but aged 41
there's what look to be mother and daughter in Ludlow ages 41 and 7
and there's one the right age a servant working for a Littleton family as cook in Hampstead, London, but it says born Norfolk.

There are also 2 Clara Gittins about the right age, one in Birmingham and one in Wandsworth. But of course it costs to look at other details.

If she wandered down to Monmouth then she may appear in the Welsh census when they are available. Not a lot of help, cheers Fred

I am trying to trace Clara Gittings born Qtr 3 1877 Redmarley

Parents William John George Gittings and Fanny nee Warner

Clara appears on the 1881 census aged 3 at Hawcross, Redmarley, Worcs
and again aged 23 in 1901 Census as Servant Rodborough Stroud, Glos.

I am led to understand she never married, I am unable to track any marraige or death. According to a relative she was buried at Corse church, again no records show this. She has gone missing, can you help please.
