Gwynne Have had a quick look for Brockton, and found 3 so far. The Brockton found 3miles SE of Bishops Castle is in the Parish of Lydbury North The Brockton 8.5 miles SW of Shrewsbury could come under the parish of Westbury as this covers 14 townships. The Brockton E of Bridgenorth could come under a number pf parishes – Monkhopton / Easthope etc Have you tried looking on IGI for the birth, it may pinpoint which parish more clearly. If all else fails you may have to have a look at the parish register for these areas. Paul -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
