Hello Lee There is no trace of TOURNOFF or TURNOFF in the Shropshire Burials Index at the present time, neither is there any trace of a grave stone anywhere in Shropshire for either spellings. If your ancestors were Church of England then I would suggest you start by looking at St Mary's Church records, Whixall. There was also a Methodist Church and a United Reformed Church at Whixall, both of which had their own burial grounds.

Hello Jill Unfortunately Whitchurch registers have not been transcribed so it is not possible for list members to look up your entry. The only way it can be checked is by looking at the register at Shropshire Archives or a microfilm of it at your local Mormon Family History Centre.

Hello Graham, I meant to reply to your last message regarding your Genetree newsletter. My interest is mainly because we seem to be researching some of the same names - Bickley and Davies are two that I recall from your list. I believe that I contacted you several years ago to see if we had any common ancestors, and I think we decided we did not, however, I'd still like to see your newsletter, if you don't mind sending it, either to this email address or "robinson.diana at gmail.com". Is it possible for your to do a look up for me on your 1859 directory of Wrexham? I'm looking for a Samuel Davies, Auctioneer, who was the father of my gggrandmother Mary Davies, b. C1830 in Welshpool. I cannot find this man anywhere. Mary Davies married Francis Price Bickley in 1849 in Manchester and they emigrated to Canada in 1870. Thanks for any help.

Graham, My Prices have so far been tracable only in the Much Wenlock area of Shropshire but I am also looking for Hulston in Wreham. William Hulston was a shoemaker in Manchester in 1851 Census together with his wife (?) Elizabeth nee Hughes. They are not in the remnant of the Wrexham 1841 Census. I would like a copy of your Wrexham directory in case he may be in that. Stuart Jamieson Graham Price <genetree@pacific.net.au> wrote: Hi all I don't think I gave the Shropshire list (apart from the Clwyd list) the opportunity of downloading John Jones' 1859 directory of Wrexham, Denbighshire, but for those who really have an interest, okay, let me know OFF-LIST and I will supply you with the PDF version if you need it. This is taken from the book my grandfather brought out to Australia 1880s before his original landing 1873, and who sailed back and forth a number of times before eventually settling in Australia. Please be aware that the PDF version of trades in Wrexham, though taking only a minute or two to download on broadband may take over 20 minutes on dial-up. Anyone still on dial-up (I know all about it!) will experience a fair delay in downloading, so think twice about this. The serial version of Genetree, my little family history publication which has been going on since 1994, is now available to anyone on these lists in a PDF version. August 2006 is the first edition PDF'd, so all other editions in the future will be available for anyone who wishes to take advantage of this. The main reason for this is to allow family historians to look and see what they themselves might be able to do in putting our a regular newsletter or magazine for their own relatives and others who are interested. Things certainly open up on the world-wide web. I was pleasantly, and at the same time, surprised in mind, to find that so many folk on these two lists would be so interested in doing much the same as I have done, putting out a family history newsletter for their relatives. I thought that I would receive about five or six replies from those interested. What a surprise to find out that over fifty folk on these two lists were interested in doing the same thing! I can't really believe it, but must accept it. Just goes to show you, never, ever, keep things to yourself. Let the list know what you are up to. You never know where things will lead to in family history research and as long as you make others aware of your needs you may then be pleasantly surprised. And that is what these lists are all about.

Hello Graham, How are you keeping it has been some time since we spoke. I have had a pretty rotten year so far, my husband died in January and the year hasn't picked up since. We would have been married 50 years this year. I hope that you and yours are well. I would love to have a look at the above, I don't have any connections in Wrexham that I am aware of, BUT I am very nosy, and love to look at anything and everything, All the best Doreen

I would agree that up to at least 1970,it was about the same percentage now that are not on the phone,who owned one in those days.

Plus, there was up to a 3 year waiting period. As the average wage was roughly £70 per month (based this on my own husband who was 9+y in the RN) or less. Not only was there a monthly fee, but each time one picked up the phone, to ring a local number, it cost 3d, plus more depending on the duration of the conversation. It could add up quickly.

We didn't skint ourselves, but were still able to save half my husband's wage per month. The buying power of the £ was much greater than that of the $, back then. In 1970, when I bought $s to come home, the £ = $2.35 CDN. It was £1 per minute to ring Canada, if I recall rightly. Never did, as it was far too dear! My S-i-L's husband owned a business, so he was able to have a telephone installed in their home a little quicker than the average householder. He was on the waiting list for over 2 years. We, living in married quarters, weren't allowed to even apply to have one, as it was believed we were too transient, so may do a flit, leaving a large bill behind. There were call boxes everywhere, including out in the middle of nowhere (it seemed to me at times), so having a telephone in one's home wasn't truly a necessity. The UK also had toll-free 999 (= 911) so very long before we (North America) even considered such a service. If you cannot find any of your folk listed in the pre-1970's telephone directories, the chances are they didn't have a phone, especially if they were shop or mill workers, ag. labourers and/or the like.

Does anyone have any connection with, or know anything about these GLOVERs? 1851 Census - Ruyton Mary Glover, aged 22, annuitant, mother and father deceased; Ellen Glover, 19; William 17; Charles 15; John 13; Alfred 12; Samuel 11; Joseph 24 (visitor). They were all born in Shropshire, but at Acton Burnell They might be part of my tree - but any help would be useful, whether ruling them in or out. Thanks Ann

I would really appreciate a look-up in the Whitchurch Parish Records for the baptism of: ELIZABETH LLEWELLIN She married in Whitchurch in 1770 and, as I'm pretty sure her husband wasn't baptised there, I'm hoping she was - in about 1740-54.

Hi all I'm sticking my neck out again. Since 1994 I have been publishing a little rag called "Genetree", every four months which is mainly for my relatives who are scattered across the globe. Approx 80 copies go out. Copies are in the State Library of Victoria, La Trobe section; the A.N. Palmer Centre, Wrexham; and an odd copy in the Oswestry library. Though now I have decided to only publish when I feel like it, which means probably only two editions per year. Generally, there are articles for Clwyd and Shropshire, though one has to squeeze in others. I thought it might be of interest to anyone who was planning a family history newsletter for their relatives to have a look and see what I have done over these years, so, anyone who wishes to have a PDF copy of the August 2006 edition, let me know and I'll send it off list. It is a fairly large file, well over 3000k, so would take a very long time to down-load if you only have dial-up. Think about four minutes or less on broadband. Printing and mailing a publication such as this can become fairly expensive for the family historian, so unless you have adequate means and production facilities, think twice about it. I have been surviving these years with an old desk-top publishing programme and a photocopier at home, but recently the addition of a new publishing programme and a laser printer has improved quality. Overall, I have gained a great deal of satisfaction (even though it keeps me poor) in doing this for my relatives and indeed leaving something behind me in libraries when I eventually slide off this bountiful earth. the serial "Nearer am I to Home," which commenced with my grandparents returning from New Zealand to Australia into the 1893 depression continues on. I hope, one day, to put it all into book form. At this stage, after 21 chapters, I am still only up to 1918 in time-line. History is larger than all of us. Cheers Graham
