Hello all, Many thanks to Graham Price for his advice re St. Mary Magdalene, Bridgnorth registers. I have searched through LDS family history library films for christenings but my ancestors were baptised before 1813-1914. Also marriages before 1813. I think that trying to find the right John Gittos and Elizabeth Malpas and all their children is not going to be as easy as I once thought. My main research is for Benjamin Gittos, who was transported to Australia in 1826. All records I have from the Archives state that his native place was Bridgnorth Shropshire. He was tried at Warwick Assizes in 1824. He also had a brother William Gittus who was sentenced on the same day at Warwick, but also came from Bridgnorth. Can someone please help with the Shropshire end of this saga? Gittos/Gittoes/Gittus are all the same I think. Both Benjamin and William died in Tasmania in the 1800s. I have everything relating to this end of their lives but not the beginning.
If you try this site you should find quite a lot if you go to Shropshire then Bridgenorth, regards Andrea Cox http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm >From: "Kathleen Johnson" <kathleenjohnson@iprimus.com.au> >Reply-To: eng-shropshire-plus@rootsweb.com >To: <ENG-SHROPSHIRE-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com> >Subject: Re: [ENG-SHROP] (ENG-SHROP) Gittos family name >Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 20:00:39 +1000 > >Hello all, >Many thanks to Graham Price for his advice re St. Mary Magdalene, >Bridgnorth registers.

On the 1841 census there is a John Gittos aged 70 Carpenter Elizabeth Gittos aged 65 They are both born in County and living in the Bridgnorth, parish of St Leonards, Shropshire, looks like Listley Street HO107/923/1 p8 This could be Benjamin's parents? You do not say how old Benjamin and William are?

You do not say how old Benjamin and >William are? Yes, these could be. Benjamin, according to Kathleen, was transported 1826, so was probably born 1790-1806. Certainly seems to fit. Again, one must not get trapped into thinking that the Gittoes folk were always of the established church, some of them at some time may have chosen to worship at non-conformist chapels, hence no records in C of E. Many thoughts, many ways. Cheers Graham

Hi Kathleen Just a quick response as I can't quite recall the situation. If I understand your query, you are stating that records prior to 1813 are not available?

If you go to the following site you will find that Benjamin Gittus, was tried for theft in Birmingham aged 15 in 1824 at Warwick and was acquitted. This means he was b 1809 not 1801? http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/corporate%5Cprisoner.nsf/AllDocs/C761518B83D9 D75980256E4A0043A0F4?opendocument The only others I can find are James Gittens 6 mth in Goal in 1813 William Gittens Acquitted in 1820 Benjamin above aged 15 Acquitted Wlater Gittens aged 25 in 1894 case Discharged None of the Warwick cases show that they were transported? Here is main page if you want to search further http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/Web/corporate/pages.nsf/Links/6022586A99937FF A80256ED9005765AF Are we looking for the right family? ON IGI someone has put into LDS a William Gittos 6/7/1804 and Benjamin Gittos b 1808 parents Edward Gittos and Many Ann Piggot This Edward and Mary married Astley Abbots 19/4/1790 ref M032181 Regards Pam -----Original Message----- From: eng-shropshire-plus-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-shropshire-plus-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Irene M.
