I made a note of all the Fox families in the area and found the marriage of William Fox and Martha Thomas in 1797. Also found the baptism of William, son of William and Mary Fox of Criggion on 1 Jan 1768. I have more info going back to 1708 if you are interested.

I am trying to connect them to the Fox Family that came to Ontario. The dates for William & Joseph match up almost perfectly with the information that I have.

The marriage of Thomas Fox and Mary Poulter took place on 17 September 1752 by banns. William, baptised 1st Jan 1768 had a brother Joseph, who was baptised 12 August 1770. Also found the burial of a Mary Fox of Criggion on 15 October 1769. I have too much info to put on here. Is there another way to send it to you?

Saw your 2006 message on ancestry .co.uk. I am researching my Family Tree "Amphlett" and have got back to 1672. The Broseley / Madeley Amphletts are in my direct line. You say in your 2006 message that you have details of the Broseley Amphlett's and I would appreciate any help you could give to put more detail into my research. Thomas 1823 - Benjamin 1799 - Thomas 1775 - John 1754 - William 1733 - William 1705 - John 1672 - Richard ? I have stablished the tree line as listed above but do not have information on children and spouses yet. Also very keen to find out about the jobs these people did. My G G G G Grandfather ws descended from a Benjamin Amphlett who was born in 1799 who had a brother Thomas born 1797 and a sister Elizabeth born in 1814 are these the same ones your grandmother was descended from? Can you help with any Broseley or Madeley Amphlett's please? Regards Eric Amphlett Email: [email protected] Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

If you look on the Shropshire List at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/ENG-SHROPSHIRE-PLUS/2008-09 you will see your thread is now split into two different places making it difficult for other readers to follow. Assize Courts were organised in "Circuits" and both Shropshire and Staffordshire were in the Oxford Circuit but as far as I know an offence would always have been tried in the same county that it took place so on that basis the crime must have been in Staffordshire. The centre of Market Drayton is only one mile from the county boundary with Staffordshire and Ashley is only another four miles (less than two hours walk in total) so your man could easily live in Market Drayton and walk to Ashley. I wonder if the place name of his employer has been printed incorrectly because there is no Stanton close enough to fit the circumstances but whilst looking at the map a few moments ago I noticed a place called 'Standon' in Staffordshire which is about 4 miles from Ashley and about 9 or 10 miles from Market Drayton. This would fit in much better with the circumstances you have outlined. You can find detailed mapping online at http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=standon,+staffordshire&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=42.224734,75.234375&ie=UTF8&z=13&iwloc=addr but if that doesn't work try this short cut to the same place http://tinyurl.com/3npyhc When you look at the map Ashley and Market Drayton are west of Standon. The National Archives at Kew in London produce a lot of free Research Guides, some of which are about Assizes, see http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/researchguidesindex.asp?j=1 Mike Shropshire, UK ______________________________________________________ Greg Bugden wrote: > Hello Graham > Thanks for the welcome and reply. The trial was held at the Staffordshire Assizes. So the Stanton you mentioned in Staffordshire could be a likely candidate for the Blagg residence. But if the crime had been committed in Shropshire then I guess the trial would have been held in that county, unless all assizes in the region were held at Stafford. Do you know? > > However, the article tracks the movements of the prisoner before his capture: he went to a draper in "Drayton" (could that be Market Drayton??) and to a woman in "Ashley" (though the type is not very legible, could be "Astly"). These must have been nearby villages, within walking distance of Stanton. Additionally the money stolen was in notes from the Market Drayton Bank. > > As for his birth in Market Drayton, The IGI lists only one JOHN BATES born in Shropshire (his native place according to the Convict Indent) in the year 1807 (he was 18 at the time of the trial, hence this date), Market Drayton. > Cheers > Greg > > REMEMBER - The question you are asking may have already been answered. > Threaded Archives at - > http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/ENG-SHROPSHIRE-PLUS/Archives > > Searchable Archives at - > http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/ENG-SHROPSHIRE-PLUS/ > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > > ------------------------------ To contact the ENG-SHROPSHIRE-PLUS list administrator, send an email to [email protected] To post a message to the ENG-SHROPSHIRE-PLUS mailing list, send an email to [email protected] __________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word "unsubscribe" without the quotes in the subject and the body of the email with no additional text.
