Mardol « on: Wednesday 08 March 06 22:13 GMT (UK) »
I have a marriage cert from 1838 where the pair married in St Chad's, Shrewsbury. Both gave their residence as Mardol (at least, that's what it looks like). Is that a district of the town?

Hi Suttontrust
Mardol is a street in Shrewsbury, and still survives today. It's quite a busy area with several pubs, a large health club, pizza restaurant, a florists to name but a few.
Here's a photo of the street http://www.darwinshrewsbury.org/darwinwalk/1 and also an explanation of the name! If you continue to "walk forward" you'll see some good photos of several of the properties.

Yes I did - there are some great photos of St Chad's on the net.

Sadly, no. For both of them it just says, "Mardol".

They were Thomas Bird and Elizabeth Williams. I know he was born in Shropshire c.1814 and she was born in Bidgnorth c.1815. Fathers William Bird and Edward Williams. I have their descendants but can't get any further back.

When I go to the Shropshire Archives again I would be more than happy to see if I can find out anything for you. Let me have all the information that you have got.
