Could SKS please look in any Parish Registers they may have for the baptism of James Staley abt 1769. He married Margaret Corns on 20 Jun 1790 in Lydbury North all of their six children were born in Lydbury North, Shropshire and I thought James was born there also, but he is not listed. Their first child was also James Staley born 8 May 1761 Lydbury North. I think James Staley (Senior) will be in Shropshire somewhere or the border counties of Wales.
IF you do a look up and James Staley is not in your Parish Register could you let me know please ~ it will help me to narrow the field when I send for any more Parish Registers.
