Dave, I meant to say, in my previous post, that William PERKS appears just once, on the baptism of his son Thomas, in Pontesbury Printed PR so you are unlikely to find any siblings by using that source. Plus it means that William & Mary didn’t, apparently, get married in Pontesbury.

Yvonne I have Anslow's. Alexander Anslow born Culmington 1814 to parents William Anslow and Elizabeth Howard. He married Susan Hall and they had three children that I am aware of, George, Emma and my 2nd g grandmother, Mary Ann. Alexander died in Halifax, Yorkshire in 1901. I can't find anything on George who was born in 1840 and Emma married John Cadwallader. Regards. Susan West.

This a total `long shot`! Has anyone come across a Florence Anne LINNEY in their Tree? She was alive in 1922 when she was a beneficiary in the Will of my great great aunt Maria DAYUS of Longnor as 'my step niece'. Her relationship has long posed a mystery as I cannot find any connection with this surname. Have searched the Partial Death Indexes after 1922. The 1901 Census doesn`t help me either as I am not sure if this is her married or maiden name. Maria was a spinster so the 'niece' can only be on her father or mother's side. Her father, my great great grandfather, Samuel DAYUS was married twice. All the children and lineage of the first marriage are accounted for except one: Anne DAYUS baptised 12 October 1823 Longnor. Aged 17 in 1841 with family. Not found in 1851. No marriage traced. No burial found. No further information about her. All children and lineage of second marriage accounted for. However, Maria's mother, Mary, nee BULLOCK, had a child Sarah BULLOCK baptised at Pontesbury in 1833. No father mentioned, 4 years before her marriage to Samuel DAYUS. This Sarah was brought up at Longnor by Mary's brother, William and his wife, Hannah where she was living in 1851, just a few doors away from her mother! Not there in 1861 and no trace thereafter found. I would be interested to hear of any sightings or suggestions. Ann

Hello Yvonne Whilst Civil Registration records only started in 1837 there are some Birth, Marriage and Death indexes at the Family Records Centre in London which go back into the 1700's and might well include a record of a birth at sea or overseas c.1815. There are two or three different indexes which might be of use to you. If you can't easily get to London the Pay-per-View web site www.1837online.com has a copy of these - look in the Overseas section.

Does anyone on this list have ANSLOW's in their tree? I am looking for ANN ANSLOW born c1815 according to the 1851 Census East Indies at sea, British Subject; 1861 Census born West Indies and 1871 born Shifnal (but this I think just because that is where she & her husband are living & he was born there). Her husband was John Holmes and their first child was born 1834/5. I have not so far found their marriage and am at a loss as to how to move forward with this. Any suggestions would be appreciated Regards Yvonne

Helle Angela, Further to Gwynne Chadwick's interesting response to you, re a posssible rescuer for your interest, Alfred Ashby. With the archives well spam protected, which is good, posting this suggestion on list Below from the archives, wonder if the researcher writing still has the same email address, if Angela would feel like trying to contact him to see if more known, as could well be Forgham relatives with additional info re Alfred Ashby. Message board headed Forgham Family history: from john@oxborough-russell.fsnet.co.uk (per a Google). "am writing on behalf of my stepfather, Joseph Edward Oxborough Russell (known as Edward), who is trying to trace his mother's line in the Shrewsbury area where he was born. He was born Dec 7, 1918 to Minnie Russell, nee Forgham, who was born in the Union Workhouse, Berrington, May 23, 1887. Minnie was the daughter of Fannie Forgham (the father's name is not known), a domestic servant at St Chad's Church, Shrewsbury and resident in the Union Workhouse, Berrington. We know that Fannie also gave birth to Richard Forgham, July 24, 1884, and Charles Forgham, Feb 1, 1894. Both boys were born in the Union Workhouse, Berrington and the" -. . . and quite a bit more to the posting. Message was dated dated however March 2003. and "This same possibility would also apply to Richard Forgham who Minnie remembers growing up with". Jo. Tropical Shropshire (and of course topical!) .

Hello Ann Seems a long way from Salop, but there is on the BVR disks a marriage of a John BARRETT to an Anne POPE at Fordingbridge, Hampshire, England 04 May 1780, which fits in with your timing. LDS FHL Film No. 1041293. The only christening of an Anne I could find with any possible significance to this marriage was: Anne Berrett 22 May 1791 at Andover, Hampshire, father John Berrett, mother Anne. A bit of a needle in a haystack as there are numerous Anne's born to John & Ann Barretts around the country. Anyway, another christening to this family was: Sarah 23 Dec 1793 also at Andover. Don't know if this is of any use to you, or just a red herring. Good luck Graham
