John Worship 1595-1599

I first heard of the Clergy Database web site at the Guild seminar in Plymouth.

A quick search reveals a John Worship, a Stipendiary Curate at Lewisham from 1595-1598 and a curate in 1599. The source for the information on the web page is given as PRO, E179/50 (Clerical Subsidy records)

F Worship - Sheffield England

Before Christmas last year Channel 4 (in the UK) ran a series called Not Forgotten about those who perished in the First WorldWar. There web site at http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/L/lostgeneration/ has a search facility where you can check not only for those who lost their lives, but also those who fought and returned from the war. A search of the site revealed there was only one Worship listed, an F Worship who appears on the memorial of Sheffield & Ecclesall Co-operative Society.

Worship One Name Study

I Registered with the Guild of One Name Studies the name of WORSHIP in December 2005. The surname is the name of my husband's paternal grandmother. I've also registered the varients of WURSHIP, WORSHIPS, WORSHIPP. The database is a new one, but is gathering information from all across the globe.

This web page has a search engine, where you can enter a given surname and the site returns a map showing where the surname occurs. This is the results for the name of WORSHIP in the United States, unsurprisingly, the are no occurances of the name of Worship in Italy.
