Pat, As I have already said in my previous reply to you - this is my family. Samuel DAYUS (1791-1858) was born at Chatwall Lawn, Cardington in 1791, the fifth child and eldest of two sons of Samuel DAYUS and Margaret, nee HICKMAN. Baptised at Cardington 7 March 1791. He married (1) Mary DEAKIN a widow, nee JONES, 29 July 1816 Condover. 5 children born at Longnor. Mary died 1836. Samuel then married (2) Mary BULLOCK 24 April 1837 St Chads, Shrewsbury. 7 children born at Longnor. Of which, Charles, the eldest was born 26 January 1838. (In answer to Graham Price's comments) 1. The Ann DAYUS aged 17 was a daughter of the 1st marriage. 2. Chatwall Lawn is a hamlet in the parish of Cardington just a few miles from Longnor. 3. The Bullock family came from Dorrington and Condover. 4. The family lived at Grove Farm, Longnor. Not Longnor Hall. Samuel was a farmer, maltster and veterinary surgeon. If the 'friend of a friend' would like any further information on this family I suggest he contacts me direct.
