Hello again Jackie

Nice to hear from you, and hope you are keeping well.

I will certainly take a photo of where Halls Passage used to be - the Royal Mail now stands on the site.

By the way, if you do come to Shrewsbury let me know, it would be great to meet up.

Best wishes

Hi Jan

Thank you for your kind offer. Would it be possible to take a photo of 26 St Johns Hill Shrewsbury. On the 1891/1901 census it was shown under St Chad's Shrewsbury and was next door to a school. It was the home of my wifes GGrandfather Louis Estervan Green de Woolfson (Surgeon & MD).

Regards

Ibbotson, this message is for you.

I do apologise for not taking the photos you wanted of St John's Hill.  To be perfectly honest,  I just haven't been into Shrewsbury town centre for ages as didn't need to venture in!!!! 

I have got to take some photos for J.J. of St Chad's cemetery, and as St John's Hill is quite close, I hope to do both on the same day.

All I can say is bear with me please.................your photos will be with you very soon.

Thanks.

started a new topic http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,92551.0.html

...and I have also asked the Moderator to split this thread and put your photos request into a new topic.  Makes things a bit easier, don't you think.

Jan

Moderator Comment: new topic merged with the older, seperate photo requests in one thread

MAMME:
       I live now in ONTARIO, CANADA and have for almost a year been looking into places in Shrewsbury. I KNOW my Great-Great-Grandmother lived in the Shrewsbury area. HERE is the kicker --> My Grandfather's (he was born there btw) HIS PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER was the HEAD MAID for the entire Castle for the Earl there... I know her last-MARRIED name but nothing else. IF you could obtain a picture of information of when she started working as well as stopped I would owe you a TREMENDOUS debt of gratitude. The last name would have been OWEN. The time she likely stopped working would have been somewhere I could guess about 1900 to 1920?? Perhaps earlier. I've looked everywhere else, but can't see any info from the Castle other than He himself.

       My mathernal grandfather is now 92 and in a few months, 93yrs of age and still lives... Anything you can find would be much appreciated. Here is my e-mail:

E-Mail address removed to prevent spammimg - PLEASE use the Private Message facility - Global Moderator.

       Again my thanks. IF you can photograph the page its on, that would be TREMENDOUS.

                  Signed,
                       Mr. Peter Blahut


hello Peter

Shrewsbury Castle was owned by the Downward family when your grandmother would of been employed there.

it was bought by the local hoticultural society in 1924 so the last occupant,miss E.Downward must have passed on around that time.

if you would like I can try and find out more....

Hi Lloydy

I don't think the addresses are complete on my Gr Gr Grandparents marriage cert in 1853 ~ perhaps you can help.

Edwin Jones lived at Castle Foregates, Shrewsbury.

Anne Evans lived at St Julians Friars, Shrewsbury.

Take care

Hello Shirley

Do you know if Edwin and Anne were living at those addresses in the 1851 census........it may give a bit more info Wink

Meanwhile, have a look at this:

Hi Jan

No ~ unfortunately he was living with his father Richard Jones in 1851 and it was St Michael Street.

Goodness ~ did the Severn burst it's banks?

May be disappearing for half an hour whilst I get the dinner Jan.

OK, I'll take some shots of Castle Foregate and St Julians Friars - although both have changed considerably, and a lot of older properties demolished to make way for new developments.

Crickey Jan the floods look awful ~ I hope the barriers work and you don't get floods this winter.

That would be great if you can take some photos but wait until the Spring or Summer, absolutely no rush at all.

in Bagshaw's directory of 1851 a Richard Jones is listed as a school master at St. Michael's school.

Hello s g d

I don't think it is my Richard Jones ~ he was born 1794 in Llangedwin, Denbighshire.
In 1834 he was an 'Overlooker', living at Spring Gardens.
In 1851 he is still an 'Overlooker in a Cotton Mill'. 
In a very old map there was a mill in St.Michael's.  I am assuming he worked there.

Thank you very much for looking him up for me.
Best wishes
