Hello Listers, I am trying to find the marriage record of Benjamin Ball who married Sarah ? Their first child registered was MARY ANN BALL Christened 20 JUL 1807 Madeley, Shropshire, England, so I presume the marriage was sometime prior to that date. If anyone is able to look this up I would be most grateful. Cheers, Barb

Hello Carol, As list is quiet take it ok to comment on above. I tried this, delighted to see whats on offer. BUT appears to be a pay in advance, so if I did not like site there may or may not be, difficulty in cancelling subscription, after the 14 days. By then they would have my name, addresss, phone number (phone no compulsory), details of payment card. If I have misunderstood these conditions, would be pleased to hear from someone experienced in trying fourteen days free trial, better be off line as not specific to Shropshire. It would seem the two day trial you mention, does not allow images to be downloaded. I do not expect everything for free, but dont like sites of any description where there is an automatic renewal of ones's subscription. A pay in advance as for 1837 and I belive others, is acceptable. Look forward to the list becoming more energetic Shropshire-wise, now as weather changing in the UK. Jo.
