Hi, I'm new to this list and hope someone can assist. I'm trying to find the birth/baptism of a Thomas PERKS of Pontesbury around 1809/11. His parents were William and Mary. Also, any siblings would also be useful plus his mothers maiden name. In the 1841 census it has the mother and father as both 60 and a sister Mary 20. I realise that these figures have benn rounded up/down. At this time they were still in Pontesbury (Oaks). I hope this isn't too much to ask!

Dave, I meant to say, in my previous post, that William PERKS appears just once, on the baptism of his son Thomas, in Pontesbury Printed PR so you are unlikely to find any siblings by using that source. Plus it means that William & Mary didn’t, apparently, get married in Pontesbury.

Hello David Chance has it that Babs on this list has also asked for some details from the Pontesbury regs. I have access to the Shropshire Parish Register Society transcriptions for Pontesbury up to 1812 at our State Library. I tried to access the catalog to get them down today but because of an internet cable problem in the USA could not order the book down. That is the problem with libraries relying solely upon internet to access their own catalog database. Silly, rather, in my mind. They should have an option so that you can also access the catalog database within their own building! Is that not reasonable? What on earth are we heading for with all of this? Anyway, as soon as things are all up and running again I shall certainly have a look for your folk, and Babs also. Good luck Graham Melbourne Oz
