I'm trying to track down a William Owen, born possibly in the Wem area in c1832. He's possibly moved to Cheshire by 1861, though.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Neil

I had a quick look at the partial Civil Reg Index and the only William Owen born in Wem, Shropshire was this one:-
Name Year Quarter District County Volume Page
OWEN, William 1844 December Wem Shropshire 18 193
I realise that the year is a lot later than your c1832.
Have you found him in any of the census returns? These should give you a birthplace.

Dear Jan
Thanks very much. The census returns have him born in Worleston, near Nantwich in Cheshire. But the Parish Records reveal nothing. He married into a family that had moved from Wem, and I wondered if his had done the same. Anecdotally, my late uncle always had him down as the 'Molecatcher' of Wem, but this is probably romanticism.
Thanks again.
Neil
