Hello Alejandro It is just possible that your relative was a Police Inspector in the Shrewsbury Borough Police but I think it is much more likely that he was an Inspector of {{??}} within the Borough, possibly highways or shops or goodness knows what. Your only way to find a proper answer to this question is to employ a researcher to look through the (unindexed) Shrewsbury Borough Quarter Sessions records for that year and possibly a few years either side to see if his name is mentioned. Please note that the Quarter Sessions CD produced by Shropshire FHS is for the County Quarter Sessions and does not include Shrewsbury Borough.

Hi All, Can Anyone tell me when the Border Counties Advertizer was first in print ???? Have just received info that one of my folk committed Suicide at the age of 37. in 1849 The local paper "Whitchurch Herald" was not established until 1869, and I would expect this to be a note worthy incident. Any other suggestions as to find further information ? Hardman LLOYD b 1813 Overton Flints married Sarah BATTARBEE in 1837 Worthenbury they had at least 5 children............. the last one born soon after this death. Thanks Catherine

I have just found a relative in the 1871 Census and his occupation is given as Borough Inspector, Shrewsbury. He was 31, single and a boarder at the Pineapple Inn, Shrewsbury. Can anyone tell me what would have been his duties? Thanks! Alejandro Milberg Boston, Mass.

Paul, Jessie JAMES married Frederick Joseph TUCKWOOD (not TUCKER) in the O/N/D quarter of 1907 and the GRO reference is Volume 6A page 1265 and that information is given courtesy of Free BMD. You can send for the certificate armed with that information. Also if you care to trawl through the free search (at the moment) on the beta version of Ancestry`s BMD indexes you may find any resulting children of that union. You have the name Tucker so there is a chance that there was an error in the original transcription from the longhand to the typing to get to the Tuckwood!

Good suggestion, Judy. Thank you. The only problem is that although I know their years of birth, I do not know the exact date of their baptisms and I don't know how much searching the local record office will do. Worth a try though.

Hi Marjorie, This is probably not relevant, but you asked for "any bits at all", so here goes: In the 1851 census there was a 41 yr old Humphrey Lloyd, a faint possibility being your Humphrey's father at Rodney Inn, Ironbridge, with his mother Susannah Lloyd (the Innkeeper). It is recorded at Schedule 5 in section (1-12). (View the second recorded(1-12)Sunday- it is clearer.) http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/ENG-IRONBRIDGEGORGE/2004-08 Richard, NZ. -----Original Message----- From: JMTsparks Humphrey LLOYD married Elizabeth BARKLEY by bond of GBP 500 and also a license in Aug 1897, in Ellesmere. On most of their 8 children's birth records he is a SLATER. They were born in a few various places, Duddleston, Shrewsbury, Colcham, Castle Foregate. Would a SLATER have to keep moving in order to work? Work where? A quarry? a mine, just cut and install slate for roofs? Might he have been born in neighbouring Wales and learned the trade there? I welcome any ideas, theories any bits at all. I cannot find a birth, a death or any census for this family. I do not have access to the 1841. I do have access to all other census, and am certainly willing to trade info and precious time. Regards, Marjorie Lloyd, Nevada, USA

My grt. grandfather, Robert JONES of Llanrhaiadr, born 1822, appears to have been married twice but I am having difficulty proving this.He appears to have spent most of his married life in the Trefonen area. On every census from 1851 t0 1871 his wife is named as Elizabeth. On the 1881 census her name changes to Ann. I have been unable to trace either a death or marriage which fits these dates.
