PACE RECORDS
from parish registers
of the 1500s

#

HENRY VIII's Church in England
started parish registers for Christenings about 1537 - later - marriages & deaths.

From these we can begin to chart our family history

in Worcestershire & Warwickshire - along the River Avon
Pershore, Defford, Birlingham, Ecklington Brinklow

are towns no more than four miles apart
these PACE entrys in parish registers would very likely be related.

In the 1540s there appears to be
WILLIAM, RICHARD, GEORGE, and JOHN

also note GIVEN / CHRISTIAN NAMES
try to spot them showing up in later generations.

Richard PAYSE
   + Spouse: Anne BROWNE
   Marriage 15 Jun 1579 KINGSTON upon Thames, Surrey - M015493

Richard PACE
   Christening: 24 Aug 1580 KINGSTON Upon Thames, Surrey - P015491

There is little doubt, the above RICHARD PACE Christened 24 Aug 1580 was the som of RICHARD & ANNE BROWNE who were married in the same parish about 14 months previously

About four years later, a RICHARD PACE shows as father in a Christening of a THOMAS PACE in a nearby SURREY parish. It appears possible this THOMAS could be a brother to the RICHARD Christened 1580. A THOMAS PACE shows up later in KINGSTON parish as father of a JOHN PACE Christened 25 Aug 1610.
