Hi
You don't say where you got the information. Is this them in 1871:
1871
High Street, Shifnal, Shropshire
RG10/2748 Folio 77 Page 16
William Williams, 40, Tin plate worker, b. Murton or Nurton (?)
Harriett, 38, b. Shifnal
William, 13, b. Shifnal
Julia, 9, b. Shifnal
Ann,6, b. Shifnal
Maria, 3, b. Shifnal
William's place of birth is difficult to read - I'll try to check it out.

Looking at the names you mentioned, I do think they are your family and I see no other with such a good match:
1881
High Street, Shifnal, Shropshire
(shop)
RG11/2634 Folio 63 page 22
William Williams, 49, Brazier, b. Muckston
Harriett, 48, b. Shifnal
William, 23, Brazier, b. Shifnal
Ann,17, gen servant, b. Shifnal
Minnie, 15, b. Shifnal
Thomas, grandson, 2, b. Shifnal

A possible marriage registration for them:
William Willaims, Shifnal, June Quater, 1854, vol 6a Page 1130
on the same page is a Harriet Hollinshed
You can check that this is her correct surname on Julia's birth cert:
Julia Williams, June Quarter, 1861, Shifnal, Vol 6a, Page 587
If you get the marriage cert, it will give you William and Harriet's fathers' names and occupation.

I can't locate a birth/bpt. for William at the moment. Here they are on the 1861. It looks as if they are on the same house:
High Street, Shifnal
RG9/1854 Folio 75 Page 10
William, 30, tinman
Harriet, 26
Harriet, 7
Henrietta, 6
William, 3
All down as born Shifnal
I'll see if there's a William, b. Shifnal

This looks like William on the 1851 - but yet another birth place.
Market Place, Shifnal
HO107/1987 Folio 389 Page 49
William Tomlinson, 50, Brazier, b. Stafford
Sarah, 45, b. Much Wenlock
Ann Clayton, m in l, wid, 73, b. ? Atchham
Mary Ann ?, niece, 14, b. Sheriffhales
William Williams, journeyman, 21, tin plate worker , b. Lillieshall
Ann ?, servant, 17, servant, b. Sheriffhales
Note - all the places mentioned for William's birth are reasonably close together.

There is a baptism of a possible William in Lillieshall:
25 Oct 1829, Lillieshall
Parents - Richard Williams and Ann
As this is a fairly common name and he gives a variety of birthplaces, it would be best to get the marriage cert that I gave you the reference to. This will give father's name.

It does look like the correct family on the censuses though. Just that William seemed to have problems about his birthplace - not all that unusual though. They liked to keep us on our toes
I'll see if I can find anything else for you.

Hi,
Annie Williams b1865, married Alec Titley?, they had a child named Minnie after her aunt. Minnie married someone named Doody (I don't know if this is his surname or a nickname). Unfortunatley I don't have any dates for Minnie.
I would be grateful of any help with this.
