Hi, The Cleobury Registration District also includes parishes in Worcester. I couldn't see a probable entry in the 1841 Census for Thomas in Shropshire, but there is a possibility listed in Worcester:- Class: HO107; Civil Parish: Lindridge; County: Worcestershire; Enumeration District: 8; Page: 22; Line: 12; Thomas Wildsmith abt 1839 Elizabeth Wildsmith abt 1814 In 1851 there is also a possible entry for Thomas:- Class: HO107; Piece: 2087; Folio: 531; Page: 20; Thomas Wildsmith abt 1839 born Baton, Worcestershire, Visitor Syston Leicestershire ( Baton is probably BAYTON which is in the Cleobury Registration District ) Note that Lindridge is only 2 miles from Bayton If you obtain the Birth and Marriage Certificates listed on FreeBMD, then you can confirm his parents and marriage ( Marriages Sep 1859 Batty Nancy Leeds 9b 414 Wildsmith Thomas William Leeds 9b 414 ) This looks like the couple in 1861:- Class: RG9; Piece: 3372; Folio: 16; Page: 25 Nancy Wildsmith 44 Thomas W Wildsmith 24 Elizabeth Wilson 74 John Wilson 10 Joseph Wilson 8 Susannah Wilson 28 HTH Best wishes, Phil Ridgway Bob Wilesmith wrote: > Hi new to this list but seeking data on members of the Wildsmith family as I have a birth of an Thomas William Wildsmith Cleobury in June 1839 Free BDM 18,36 any would like to establish his parents Thomas apparently married in 1859 in Leeds to an Nancy Batty. > > Regards Bob Wilesmith > NSW Australia > > > ==== ENG-SHROPSHIRE-PLUS Mailing List ==== > List archives can found at ~ > Searchable ~ http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=ENG-SHROPSHIRE-PLUS > Threaded ~ http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/ENG-SHROPSHIRE-PLUS > > ============================== > View and search Historical Newspapers.
