Hello Robyn, Do you have any further information on the family of Mary WINTER? One of my maternal 4 x gt. grandmothers was a Joyce WINTERS (b c 1760. Died 1811) She had a sister Mary born 1762. My WINTER(S) family seem to originate from Stapenhill, DBY before moving to Stonnall between 1766 and 1770. I lose track of Mary after the baptism of her illgt child at Shenstone in 1781. This baptism records that the child was born in Stonnall. As Whittington and Stonnall are not too far distant from each other I wondered if there was any connection?

Is there any one also researching this couple or could tell me anything of the Aldridge family. One of their younger sons Edmond married my ancestor Ann Southall. This marriage took place at Whittington a few years after their son Joseph was born 1826. Joseph kept his mother's name. Edmond had more children after his wife died to a Diane Harris. Edmond also did 6 months hard labour after he & Diane her daughter & her son Matthew Preston were caught in the house of Richard Southall. Richard was the eldest son of his first wife Ann Southall. Matthew Preston was a very hardened criminal & did many years in jail. There must have been an interesting tale behind why the 4 of them were in this house of Richard Southall, the court records do not reveal anything to me unfortunately. The women were spared any charges laid against them, again interesting & why!! I actually have a photo of Edmond as a young man. If anyone can shed some light on the Aldridge family I would be most grateful.
