Hello Graham and Charani, Thank you for your emails.. My problem is that I have two marriages for John Bill at Saint Leonard, Broseley. One is 6th November 1786 to Anne Ward, and the other 23 Jun 1787 to Anne Bagnall. Children followed and one of them christened at the same church is Michael Bill. who is my ggg grandfather. I thought that look ups would give me details of witnesses and also if the second marriage listed John Bill as a widower. I have had "look ups" completed for me in Stafforshire and thought there may be someone on this list who also do professional research.

Hi Mellie Are you really offering a "lookup" in Shropshire I completely understand if you are not able to help This is my brick wall My Grandfather came to Australia and in Australia used the name "Robert Thomas CRAIG" now I believe that his name really was Robert Arthur THOMAS born approx 1858 in or around Much Wenlock, Shropshire son of Thomas THOMAS and Sarah Summerfield REYNOLDS Now my reason for this belief is that he named one of his children Sarah Summerfield CRAIG I would love a birth certificate for this man but cannot find him on "1837" to order one If you are able to help you would be my friend forever I still would have no proof but I would just love to have it Joy in Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mellie" <chouikh2006@btinternet.com> To: <eng-shropshire-plus@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 8:00 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-SHROP] Researcher needed > Anita, > I dont have a date yet, as I will be away soon,for a short while but will > be going to shropshire to get the "Bill" info, it will be before the end > of they year though, and will then email you with findings, you are NOT > paying for research LOL not when you can use me to do it for you! > did you not get my last email about this? > There will be 3 of us going, so we should be able to cover a lot of ground > hopefully! > Mellie > Why Does My Coat Of Arms Have Buckles At The Back? > >

Hello Mellie, and thank you so much. The last email I received from you ,you were off for the day for fun and games with "the three". I thought you were busy with your own personal research etc.... But I sure have missed you, you are one of a kind, and I hope I can return the favour with your Benton Family here. Thank you to every one on this list who have taken the time to answer my emails and given me advice. The closest LDS centre to me here is four hours away in Sydney so it is difficult to get the film. Kindest regards to you all.

Hi Anita I see, yes you probably would get witnesses etc. on those marriage records, so that information would be valuable to you. Just hope that someone on the list who lives in the vicinity of Shropshire Archives, or St. Leonards can help. Cherrio Graham
