Not at the moment, thanks, Jan.  Rebecca was born in Criggion, so I think Alberbury would be the closest place to check.

I read your post in the Common Room about your visit there.  Glad you had fun - I'm so envious!!

Hi Arkay

I had another look through the Alberbury baptisms today, and even checked the films for 1791 - 1795 and 1796 - 1800, as well as the original 1800 through to 1812, and I still can't see her.  In fact, the name Rebecca doesn't appear at all Huh

Have you got any more ideas? Smiley

Hi Jan,

I really appreciate your spending so much time looking for my gg-grandmother Rebecca Davies.  Too bad she refuses to be found!

I haven't got a clue where to look now.  Her son John Pryce, my g-grandfather, was married in Welshpool Independent Chapel, so perhaps there was an independent church in the Criggion area where she was baptized.  I don't know where their records would be held, though. 

She and Evan Pryce were married in 1827 in Alberbury parish church, but lived in Welshpool from 1828 on.  She says she was born in Criggion, Salop on all the censuses except 1841, which just says born in county.  Her 1887 death cert shows her age as 82. 

Three of their children say they were also born in Criggion:  Emma (1832), Elizabeth (1834) and Harriet (1838).  The four others say Welshpool:  William (1828), Eliza (1830), John (1835) and Philip (1844). 

Anyway, many thanks once again.  I hope she'll turn up eventually.

Hello again Smiley

I've been doing a bit of Googling and found the following:

http://www.cpat.demon.co.uk/projects/longer/churches/montgom/16677.htm
Church of St Michaels and All Angels, Criggion

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/MGY/Crugion/index.html
Information about Criggion.

I have just checked the Alberbury list of microfilms held at the Shropshire Archives (just in case I missed any!! ), and I see that there is a "printed" set of general baptisms, marriages and deaths from 1564 - 1812.  I will have a look at this next time I go.

Dear Jan,

If you are still a visitor to Shropshire Archives, I wonder if you would investigate a JANE HAYWARD (HAYWOOD) at Montford Cemetery during 1814-1819.

In 1819, at "Montford Hill", were living her sister and her father, who were looking after her child John WOOD (born 24 Nov 1814).

My gratitude in advance,

Regards, Benjy Smiley
