Hi all, I'm searching for my g.g.grandmothers place of birth. On the 1851 Census ANN JONES (I haven't found her maiden name yet) is recorded as a widow, head of household, 70 years old and born  ? where. The transcription reads Mark Green, Shropshire but I cannot find this place on any map, I've goggled it ...... no joy.
On the census Ann b.about 1781 .... is living with her son John Jones b.about 1821 Bilston, Staffs his spouse Ann and their children Jane (my g.grandmother) Emma, John Thomas and Mary. Yes, it's like searching for the needle in the haystack so if anyone has any suggestions/knowledge of where Ann's place of birth was I'll be truly grateful. 
1851 Census ref : Staffs, Bilston District 4 page 27 H.O.107/2021
Ever hopeful
Polly

Not at the moment - no 
I can't see it on a map, on Google, nor on Genuki
Was she still alive in 1861

Hello again and thanks Mum44 and Hepburn for your help ...... had to walk the dogs and then straighten a few things in my head.......so forgive delay in responding ..... bless you both for suggesting Marsh Green ... I checked that out on my 'memory map' ordanance survey maps and now I can see that it's between Telford and Shrewsbury. I'm not certain that Ann was still alive in 1861 ....... I found an Ann that could be her although age recorded as 75 and place of birth Wellington (that looks like Mellington!). So onward and upward .... many thanks to both for your invaluable help. The picture is a liitle clearer now and will help me to find her birth record ...... perhaps! 
Regards
Polly
Oh ..... think I'm a bit past pilates now don't know about you!!!

http://www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/Search.pl Have you tried this? There are a couple of John Jones baptized around 1820 with his mother's name Ann.

Well now Daisy, like Mum44 and Hepburn you are a gem, absolute treasurers one and all. I am so impressed with the help and direction you all have given me. I am still no further forward with tracing John Johns and his mother Ann but I'm anticipating cracking this one armed with the most appreciated info you have all passed on. Thank you.
Very best regards
Polly
