David and Clive Durose have been researching the William Durose line for 10 years.Seymour Coutant (m. Natalie Durose) provided initial data.In the UK, Joan Durose (Longton), Beryl Davis (Kidderminster), and David Fyfe (Stone) have supported our project for the duration.We are thankful for their information and the friendships that have formed.
The data compiled for the nineteenth century is fairly complete.It includes dates, places, occupations, marriages, spouses, and children for four generations.Richard Durose (b. 1804) was the first schoolmaster in Milwich and later the census enumerator.He and his wife took the census for 121 homes and filled out the form if the head of household could not write.His census book for 1851 resides in the Public Record Office in London.
It is our intention to add information for the twentieth century as time permits.All comments and information are welcomed.
