Bedfordshire England Search (Sheffield)

Question

I've traced my Sheffield lineage back to Bedfordshire England to 1790. Before coming to the US in 1840, Thomas Sheffield re-married his second wife Ann Crump in 1818 in Stone, Worcester.

I'm not quite certain where to proceed. Where can I find the church records from this period in England specific to these townships?

Thank you

First I didn't think my ancestor was there, but he was -- but there isn't any other information there to continue with. Thanks

A good place to start is the county council's (http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/environment/conservation/default.aspx) library and the county family history society (http://www.bfhs.org.uk/).

Lots of links and general genealogy info about Bedfordshire is here...
