Old age? I'll be doing a dementia test tonight! I was going to add that as Anne was born at Maesbrook, it is possible that they were married at Oswestry or at least within that district, as Maesbrook sort of comes under that jurisdiction. Again, I think that anyone within the Maesbrook area might well worship at Kinnerley (not Kinnersley) close by and I would also not rule out Llanymynech just down the road. Again, not too far northward toward Oswestry was Morton Chapel within easy reach. Also Knockin, a little up the highway to the East. Llanymynech & Knockin are about equal distances from Maesbrook, about three miles, so very close. Worthwhile checking on these parishes. Good luck Graham

Whoops, nearly missed this one - not paying attention!!! Hi Gerald, haven't heard from you for a while, hope you're well. I have all (I hope) Price baptisms, marriages & burials for St. Mary, Ellesmere transcribed down from original regs and Bts from early days up to 1890s Bagley, being a little lower, I would have thought your Thomas may have been baptised at Cockshutt as it is closer than the long haul up to Ellesmere. I have one baptism of a Thomas Price which certainly does fit the age of your Thomas, but have my doubts as it is at Lea or Lee which is much closer to Ellesmere than Bagley. Still: number 637 original registers 1813-1880, 20 May 1842, Thomas s/o John & Mary Price of Lea, labourer, baptised by J.A. Cotton, vicar of Ellesmere, (at Cockshutt). Then going to St. Mary Ellesmere registers, taking any from 1840, there is only: page 133, No. 1064, 9 Apr 1840 Thomas s/o John & Anne Price of Tetchill, Boatman I also looked to see if there were any other Prices baptised who were from Bagley, but there were none within the time-span. My transcribings on marriages for St. Mary, Ellesmere, does not reveal anything, either, sadly. No Prices within a 20 year period either side of 1870 have come up from Bagley to marry, it would seem. Checking through the burials of Cockshutt there are no Prices mentioned being from Bagley, and the same at St. Mary, Ellesmere. Possibly, your Price folk came into the area temporarily and then "vanished" just as quickly. Perhaps a sweep of other close parishes might reveal something: Other parishes within 6 miles of Cockshutt, according to Parloc (Parish Locator) are: Baschurch P SAL ENG SJ4221 4.4 South Clive P SAL ENG SJ5124 5.6 East by South East Edstaston P SAL ENG SJ5131 5.3 East by North East Hordley P SAL ENG SJ3830 3.3 West by North West Little Ness P SAL ENG SJ4019 5.9 South by South West Loppington P SAL ENG SJ4729 2.6 East by North East Myddle P SAL ENG SJ4724 3.5 South East Newtown P SAL ENG SJ4731 3.1 North East Petton P SAL ENG SJ4326 1.2 South Ruyton of the Eleven Towns P SAL ENG SJ3922 4.5 South by South West Welshampton P SAL ENG SJ4334 3.7 North Wem P SAL ENG SJ5129 5.0 East West Felton P SAL ENG SJ3425 5.9 West by South West

Hello Graham Just as a footnote to what you said about Oakengates - my 2xgreat-grandmother, Ann Bickerton, claimed on some Census Returns to have been born in Oakengates, yet she was christened in Dawley Magna in 1826.

Can anybody help with the parents of RICHARD TREVOR who married Alice in 1719-20 in ST MARYS church Shewsbury.She died along with husband and son in 1723. Many thanks Chris

Hi Gerald, Have sent images for 1891 census and a possible for 1861 off list. Interesting to see the different birthplace for Annie. Do you have the 1901 census? If not let me know and I will forward it to you. Due to the number of Price families around Ellesmere you will need to confirm some details from death and marriage certificates to be able to identify your family. Having helped a friend research her Thomas Price of Ellesmere and surrounds I know how tricky it can be. Regards, Heather. > -----Original Message----- > > Hi Everyone > > Please can you help me?

If not what would be the parish church? Barbara Perth Australia

Hi Everyone Please can you help me? I have Thomas PRICE in the 1881 Census aged 38 born in Bagley Shropshire. He was a shoemaker. It would be helpful if anyone has access to say 1851 Census to check for his parents plus any other details which may be helpful. I have various snippets but not sure if I am on the right family. Thomas married Annie/Anne possibly ROBERTS. Annie was born abt 1852 at Measbrook. Any pre 1881 Census info on her family would also be helpful. I suspect that Thomas and Annie would marry early 1870s. Thomas was my Great Grandfather. Hope that someone can break down these walls. Regards Gerald Sandwith

British film No. 1702982. Wolverley Hall is not shown in "The Buildings of England: Shropshire," By Nikolaus Pevsner, so probably much the same as my mob's Maesbury Hall - a lesser building with no significant "recognised" heritage. Sad that! The only other thing I can think of is that perhaps the Shropshire Archives may have some info re. Wolverley Hall near Wem - not to be confused, of course, with the Wolverley Hall in Worcestershire. Good luck Graham Melbourne

Hi Maureen There could be a connection to an earlier Benjamin, viz: Christening at Stokesay. Benjamin Beddoes 20 JAN 1839 Stokesay, Shropshire, England Father George Beddoes Mother Sarah. You would probably need to widen your area of research a little. Parloc (Parish Locator) shows close parishes to Myndtown which is next door to Marshbrook, with possibilities: Acton Scott P SAL ENG SO4589 3.7 East Bishops Castle P SAL ENG SO3288 4.4 West Church Stretton P SAL ENG SO4593 4.5 East by North East Clunbury P SAL ENG SO3780 5.7 South by South West Edgton P SAL ENG SO3885 2.6 South by South West Halford P SAL ENG SO4383 4.5 South by South East Hope Bowdler P SAL ENG SO4792 5.3 East by North East Hopesay P SAL ENG SO3983 3.7 South Hyssington P MGY WLS SO3194 5.9 West by North West Lydbury North P SAL ENG SO3586 3.1 South West Lydham P SAL ENG SO3390 3.8 West More P SAL ENG SO3491 3.3 West by North West Myndtown P SAL ENG SO3989 0.0 Norbury P SAL ENG SO3692 2.6 North West Ratlinghope P SAL ENG SO4096 4.4 North Sibdon Carwood P SAL ENG SO4183 3.9 South by South East Snead P MGY WLS SO3192 5.3 West by North West Stokesay P SAL ENG SO4381 5.6 South by South East Wentnor P SAL ENG SO3892 2.0 North by North West Wistanstow P SAL ENG SO4385 3.5 South East It's a lot of parishes, I know, but sometimes one has to go through them one by one to find the result. Perhaps the marriage certificate will give you more clues. Good luck Graham Melbourne

Thankyou to the wonderful people on this list who helped me with my 1871 and 1861 census look for my great grandmother Sarah Reynolds. Thanks again. Margaret in OZ

re Enquiry from Maureeen, and further to my earlier posting re me not finding relevant Benjamin Beddoes on the 1901 index. Looking at the 1881 census disks, there is a Benjamin Beddoes born 1869 at Church Stretton, son of : George BEDDOES M 46 M Bishops Castle, Shropshire, England Rel: Head Occ: Railway Lab Mary BEDDOES M 40 F Wentnor, Shropshire, England Rel: Wife Occ: Railway Lab Wife Elizabeth BEDDOES U 18 F Wistanstow, Shropshire, England Rel: Daur Occ: Railway Lab Daur Benjamin BEDDOES 12 M Church Stretton, Shropshire, England Rel: Son Occ: Scholar and plenty more siblings thereafter. (above from the Church of Latter Day Saints disks). Jo. Much finish sleuthing and get to work, promise no more on this from me.

Hello Maureen, who wrote she was "looking for information about Benjamin BEDDOES who appears in Pride Hill Shrewsbury in the 1901 census aged 30 and is listed as being born in Marshbrook. Very delayed reply, I ignored the original posting as Beddoes is a name so awash in part of country mentioned. However reading a lister's reply, thought I would go into the list Archives to dig it up, then into the 1901 on line to find out his occupation. Thought this may give me a lead to look and see if he appeared in a trade directory for bit later. After trying various spellings (on the official census page , free index page), no find would come up for him. I know there is nothing unique about this, but would be interested to hear what input you entered to get the result on the 1901 query page. Cheers, Jo. Sunny Shropshire.
