Hi Jan,
I would really appreciate it if you could look up the marriage of my gg-grandparents Evan PRYCE and Rebecca DAVIS in Alberbury on 25 Jul 1827.
I'm hoping it will give their parent's names. addresses, witnesses, and the name of the church - fingers crossed!
Thank you for your kind offer.
Arkay
Details from Alberbury Parish Register:
Evan Pryce and Rebecca Davies were married in this Church by Banns on the 25th day of July 1827 by me William Thornes, Vicar
The mark X of Evan Pryce
The mark X of Rebecca Davies
Witnesses: John Davis
John Rogers
There are no details of either sets of parents, and no addresses either

Hi Jan,
Am currently researching my daughter-in-laws maternal family side and would appreciate details of both their dob's and parents, if possible of ,- Thomas HINDLEY c. 1805 and Eleanor DUNNING whom he married 29 Sep 1890 in Wellington, both surnames appear to be long standing families of Wellington.
Would be very grateful for any details whatsoever.
Many thanks in advance for your generous offer.
George.

Hello Jan, thank you for the potential offer. We have a family tale of a daughter of Andrew and Annie Lloyd of the parish of Llanyblodwel who drowned at an early age. There are too many young girl deaths to buy certificates but this is a prime candidate as she fits in a space in the run of other known children and the next child Dec-1891 was called Nellie.
1891 Mar Oswestry 6a 531 LLOYD Nellie (5)
On 5th April 1891 the family, but no Nellie, were at Lynclys Hill so we would expect a burial to be at St Micheal Llanyblodwel before 5th April 1891.
Many thanks if you have the time.
Mark
Nellie Lloyd
Abode: Llynclys
Burial: February 7th 1891
Age: 5

Hi Jan, have just seen your very kind offer and was please wondering if you could help me out at all. I have just discovered my Shropshire ancestry and have found I have Green's from Market Drayton in my familytree, this is what I have managed to find out so far on the IGI. Sarah Green baptised 21 April 1765 father Richard Green (my direct ancestor) and also Mary Green baptised 22 August 1755 and John Green baptised 3rd June 1761, both father Richard Green and all baptised in Market Drayton. Would be very happy if you could lookup these baptism entries and any others for the same parents and also possible parent's marriage, anything for me to go on really.
Very grateful for any help you can give me.
Anna
I checked the baptism registers for Market Drayton (Drayton in Hales) and there is no extra information on them. Only the date, child's name, and father's name is there......nothing else What you found on the IGI is correct.

Hi Jan What a kind thought to help us with our research. If you do get a chance I would appreciate a look up for William Owen b. c1782/3 in Loppington His birth in the parish records, parent's names, anything that would be useful! He later went on to marry Frances (?) Green. Thank you very much. Best wishes Erika 
Not good news for you I'm afraid The Loppington fiche was completely illegible. It was very very faint and I couldn't make out anything.
Sorry I couldn't help.

ggrocott
Thanks very much for the offer.
Any chance of looking for a marriage between Thomas Growcott and Dorothy? about 1800 probably in the Telford area? The family seem to have moved around the Lawley Bank, Little Wenlock area. I have found a marriage of a Thomas Grocott to Dorothy Jones on the IGI but it seems to be too early.
Telford is a little vague for a look up as there are a number of parishes in the area - examples include Dawley, Madeley, Lawley, etc etc I had a quick look through Lawley Bank but as I only had a very vague year, I didn't have enough time to go through several years and parishes.
If you could find out some more definite information about this marriage then I would be more than happy to look again for you.
Sorry I couldn't find anything today.
Jan

STEFFY
Hi Jan.
I'm not sure if you have anymore room for another lookup but I'd be eternally grateful if you could squeeze another request in. It's a settlement examination for William Hodgkiss of Stapleton dated 5 November 1779.The reference number is P268/L/8/20 which you give the archivist and with which they may take a while to find. I hope this is not too much for you to fit into your busy day and thank you kindly for your helpful nature
Best Wishes.
Steffy.
I gave the archivist the Settlement reference number and was advised that I can view the original document in the Readers Room (apparently it's not classed as fragile!). I have to apply for a Reader's ticket to do this so will do this next time I go - hopefully next Friday.
Jan

a William Owen was listed as a cabinet maker in Wem High Street,in 1828.
a Wm. Owen was also a parish clerk.
as Loppington is only 3 or 4 miles from Wem it might be worth looking into.
s.g.d.
you are a little angel to go to so much trouble,I hope that you are treating yourself to a little drink,you certainly have earned it.

Hi Jan, Thanks very much for looking for me anyway, have got an idea of where Richard died so might have to start looking for a will or grave or both to try and get further back with him.
Thanks again
Anna

HINTON
Hello,
Looking for a Shropshire marriage of Maria Millichamp
between 1851 & 1861.
In 1851 she lived in the Bitterley area.
Thanks,
Hinton
This was difficult to look up because of the lack of parish. For a 10 year span there is a large amount of fiche to look through.
I have had a look on FreeBMD and there are several Millichamp's marrying in Shropshire, several in the Ludlow district.
Do have any other information? The name of the groom?
Jan

Hi Jan,
Thank you so much for looking up my Evan and Rebecca Pryce's marriage in Alberbury. I have a small query, though. Was Rebecca's name DAVIES or DAVIS? Do you remember? Since one of the witnesses was john Davis, I wondered if he was a relative or not. Too bad they don't give any info on the parents, isn't it?
Could I possibly ask for another look-up the next time you go? Rebecca Davis / Davies was born in Criggion (near Alberbury) about 1805 (she died in Nov 1887 at age 82). I thought she might have been christened in Alberbury, but I've checked the IGI and there's nothing on her birth there. So if there are any parish records for a church in Criggion, would you be able to check for me when you have the time?
I really appreciate your help - thanks again!

Hi Arkay
Rebecca was definitely DAVIES, and the witness John was DAVIS.
Remember that neither of them could read or write so Rebecca wouldn't have been able to check the spelling!! It's only what the Vicar has written.
I have added your second query to my list for my next visit.
