 Does anyone know which part of the country this surname originated?

My Blower ancestors lived in West Shropshire in the Minsterley/Westbury area if that is of any assistance.

I have Blowers in my Tree from Overton Flintshire from around 1850,but they are also believed originally to be from Shropshire.

If you need a look up pre ab 1815, on any of these entries, give me a name and an approx date to go on,

Dear Pete Edwards,
I know it has been nearly 12 months since I first requested info' on the Blower surname, but only just revisited this site (I am easily distracted!), & found your entry.
I have (with help) managed to trace my husbands family (Blowers) back to a James Blowers born 1815 in Nobold. He married an Elizabeth Oswald & had 7 children. I believe his brother was Edward, b.1820. At present I have his parents pencilled in as William Blowers & Mary Corfield but I can't remember where I found that info'. 
Have you got a way of tracing this line back futher? Can you find James' birth amongst the parish registers?
Sorry I have taken so long to follow up this question 
Kind Regards Sheila.
