Often people used the main churches in Shrewsbury for marriages and some baptisms when they lived 20 miles or more away. Do you have any further clues as to where your people might have come from?

Hello - and thank you for your interest and help. What led me to Shropshire was a birth record that I found and proved, listing a "Bartholomew Appleton" christened at St. Chad's Church in Shrewsbury, Shropshire on Mar 4, 1761; His parents were Homer Appleton and Elinor Halsay who were married in Liverpool and all of their other children were born in Liverpool.. I thought that there might have been a Shropshire connection that took this coupe to Shropshire and Bartholomew was born there.. He was their second chid.. I was hoping to find more Appletons or Halsys! Does this help? Thanks again, Carolyn in Boston, Ma this couple was married inAt 02:10 AM 3/19/2010, you wrote: >At 12:43 AM 18/03/2010, Carolyn Parker wrote: > >Hi list, I'm researching the family of Bartholomew APPLETON <<<<snip>>>> > >Hello Carolyn >I attempted to look at your Bartholomew Appleton's baptism in St. >Mary's Shrewsbury regs, but for some reason he is shown in the index >but that particular page was missing from the microfiche copy.

Hello Carolyn and Graham The Shrewsbury St Mary printed parish register only has one reference to the surname APPLETON and this is for the Burial of James APPLETON on 10 June 1802 age 75 of Castle Gates, currier. (Page 568) The IGI lists the Birth and Baptism of Bartholomew APPLETON on 4th & 8th March 1761 at Shrewsbury St Chad. This is the same as the details in the printed parish register but it would be useful to Carolyn if someone could check the entry in the original register to establish if it provides any additional information.

My apologies. I was a little confused with the microfiche - because the SLV 'outsourced scanning folk' had not put the proper titles on certain individual fiche, thus I by-passed them and allowed myself to mix up the St. Mary Shrewsbury ones with St. Chads. Give me the original books anytime!!!! After requesting the original St. Mary's copy of Shropshire Parish Register Society down from onsite storage I discovered my mistake. Then going back to the St. Chad's fiche which definitely were incorrectly labelled I did find page 1227 with the baptism records for Bartholomew on them. Unfortunately, Carolyn, there was no additional information as there sometimes is. Place name, etc. Sorry about that. Back to the drawing board. Graham Melbourne Oz
