Research for a friend, so nothing to add to BK6

Is Worcestershire one of those places poorly covered by online records?

I've been trying to find the following, but in doing so realised I'm not finding anything much at all:

Marriage of William Ryall to Sarah X about 1830. She was b about 1810 in Grimley, Worcestershire. First known child b Grimley 1831.

Burial of William Ryall before 1841 and probably before 1837, probably in Grimley. Last known child b 1833.

Marriage of Joseph Forsbrook to Mary Ann X. They were born born about 1796. All their children seem to have been born in Bewdley Worcs which was Joseph's birth parish, though Mary Ann was from Bromyard, Herefordshire. First child may have been bap in 1819 though this is a vague submitted record.

I am taking my car to the garage today and may be out for hours, so I'm not deliberately ignoring any replies. :o

Anne, thanks for the link - any tips on how to search on there? (I found it a bit confusing :o)

Daphne, that would be really kind of you, but I don't want you trawling anything on my behalf, so only if the stuff is indexed and only if you are going in anyway!

Merry, This is mainly baptisms, but it might be of some help: http://www.fhs-online.co.uk/databases.php You must register, and it's pay per view but careful searching can yield useful info.
