Does anyone have any opinions on H. E. Forrest as an author or what is his standing nowadays? He wrote "The Old Houses of Shrewsbury" (1935) and "The Old Churches of Shrewsbury" (1922), among others, but I was very surprised at the mistakes he makes in his article for the Transactions of the Shropshire Archaelogical and Nat. Hist. Soc. "The Thornes Family of Thornes Hall" (TSAS fourth series vol. viii 1920-21 p. 260 ff). When he describes the younger line of the Thornes family (p.265) he seems to be quoting from the 1623 Visitation from memory and getting most of it wrong; he even says some of the data come from the 1663 Visitation, which as far as I know does not even have a Thornes pedigree.

Author: MichaelJHulme Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.sal.general/6587.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello I think you will find that Thomas H PEARCE married Maud POWELL during Apr, May or June 1922 in the Cleobury Mortimer Registration District (not necessarily in Cleobury itself). The marriage reference is Cleobury Mortimer 6a 1442 As far as the daughter is concerned, there is a birth registered for a Marion J PEARCE with a mother having the maiden surname POWELL registered in Jul, Aug or Sep 1923 in the Cleobury Mortimer registration district, which fits well with the marriage above. You already know the details of your father's second marriage, so his first wife must have died between 1923 and the second marriage, quite possibly during or soon after child birth. As for Marion, after the death of her mother she may have been 'adopted' by an uncle or aunt or even someone living in the area but formal adoption did not start until 1927. If the first wife died after 1927 I suggest you contact the Social Services Department of your local council for advise.

I have a Maria Eyton Bayley. On her birth certificate she is shown as the daughter of Maria Bowen and James Bayley, however I am almost certain that she was actually the daughter of the local doctor?James Eyton Watson. I would love to know why the name Bayley was chosen to register her birth.?
