Walsall & Walsall Foreign Settlement Records
Sadly, all Settlement Records for Walsall and its Foreign are lost or destroyed. No-one seems to know which. Given the size and populace of Walsall from the 16th century, when Settlement Records first began to be issued, one can only guess at how many there must have once been.
However, we are fortunate that many Staffordshire parishes did manage to preserve their valuable documents, and it is from these that I have compiled a list of those Walsall and Walsall Foreign residents who had sought, or been refused settlement in those parishes. I imagine this to be but a few of the thousands there once must have been.
