Hi all - Have searched thru your archives and am summing up information found and what I know about my grandfather Richard Evans showing it below. He said when married that he was born in Welshampton but cannot find actual birth record. I basically am left with 3 questions, would anyone have access to full information on 1871 census for UK? Would anyone have access to birth and baptism records for WEM and/or Welshampton, Shropshire. Happy New Year Joyce Have found the following possibles for Richard Evans *1901 census age 35 birkenhead *born in Welshampton per marriage certificate in Birkenhead, son of Charles Evans, mothers name unknown 18 May 1891 age age 22 (est dob 1869) son says he was 30 (est dob 1861) *1891 census age 25 boarding in Lower Bebington Cheshire (est dob 1866) *1881 census age 16 working on a farm (est dob 1865) Have one record of a christening 13 Mar 1864 Hampton Bank Welshampton, Shropshire father Charles, mother Harriet Possible parents Charles and Harriet registered most of their children at Ellesmere except for Richard. I ordered certificate for one Richard registered at Ellesmere in 1865 but told his father was not Charles. There is another Richard birth recorded at WEM in 1864 which could be same Richard as was baptized in Welshampton - Possible children for Charles and Harriet including those shown on LDS site are - Henry - Georgina - Richard - Rose Hannah - Mathilda - William - Sarah Ann - Joseph - Pamela - Annie - & Elijah My Richard had a brother Lloyd who was at his funeral in Sep 1940 (spitting image of each other-per grandchildren who were at funeral) If the mystery Lloyd was not his brother then will have to look for a brother-in-law. So am looking for some kind of proof that the WEM birth and baptism records in Welshampton are for the same child. Q1 - HOW - PERHAPS 1871 census would show family together with Richard still at home as a child, with nearest age possible and brother Lloyd (?middle name) I looked and found 170 Richards in the Shropshire census transcript with no clue as to which one was born where. Q2 - OR PERHAPS someone would have access to following baptismal records with full information on child and parents Georgina Evans b 28 Aug 1859 Balmer bap 24 Sep 1859 Welshampton Richard b ? bap 13 Mar 1864 Welshampton Joseph b ? bap 2 Feb 1866 Welshampton Pamela B ? bap 28 Aug 1868 Welshampton Q3 - OR by some miracle could actual birth records be found?
