Surnames: wardroper Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/EgC.2ACE/10026 Message Board Post: I am new to research and I'm looking for the ancestors of ROBERT W (possibly William) WARDROPER born in 1842 in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. He went to live in Shropshire, and married Frances around 1865, who was from Broseley in Shropshire and they had 10 children. The last of this brood was called NAT WARDROPER, who was born in Malvern, Shropshire in 1882. The family had been living there for some 20 years when they moved to Wolverhampton, Staffs, sometime before the 1891 census taken there. Nat, my children's great grandfather died in 1971 in Wolverhampton, having had two daughters and one son, Kenneth, their grandfather who died in 1989. Any help would be appreciated!
