Perhaps someone can help. Would you know where I'd look for a will? for JOSEPH/JOSHUA PACE below I've never thought to ask about a will of a Shropshire ancestor. Would these be stored at the Shropshire Register Office in Shrewsbury? I figure my 7X great grandfather JOSEPH Pace might have been a merchant I'm rather satisfied, I've found all his children, only three looking at the many PR's on the LDS site for north Shropshire but maybe there's always something more to find or learn from someone else. only three children and 10 years between 1st & 2nd child, then 5 years between 2nd & 3rd Joseph/Joshua was a merchant and didn't need a lot of children. If you have an idea on this, I'd be glad to hear what you think. My 7X great grandfather? These are briefly the events I've found: JOSUAH PACE Christening: 07 JUN 1618 PREES, Shropshire Father: ROWLAND PACE This name, in the records, is rather obscure. The last letter looks like an H. The first is a J but in between is unclear. wife JOSHUAH PACE MARGARETTE PALLMER Marriage 04 MAR 1653 HIGH ERCALL Shropshire + MARGARETTE PALLMER married 04 MAR 1653 HIGH ERCALL, Shropshire Her Christening: 05 JUN 1631 WELLINGTON, Shropshire Father: FRANCIS PALMER Mother: ANNE Batch Number: C037524 PALMER Records - http://www.phc.igs.net/~gordpace/records/palmer.htm children the way I figure it ANNE PACE - Chr 02 NOV 1655 RODINGTON, Shropshire - Father: JOSEH PACE JOHN PACE - Chr 22 Sep 1665 WROCKWARDINE, Shropshire - Father JOSEPH PACE - Mother MARGARET - P006621 GEORGE PACE - (my 6X great grandfather) - Chr 28 May 1670 PREES, Shropshire - Father: JOSEPH PACE - Mother not mentioned but George's 1st child also named MARGARET http://www.phc.igs.net/~gordpace/uk/prees.htm I have collected many PACE & related Shropshire records and have an index at: http://www.phc.igs.net/~gordpace/records/index.htm feel free to make use of them, We're all helping each other, a great way to be in this world.
