Shropshire / Castle Gates, St. Mary's
« on: Tuesday 29 March 05 16:10 BST (UK)  »
The 1871 census of my ancestors Charles & Sarah Ann Williams shows then living at Number 64 Castle Gates, "Eating House", St Mary's Civil Parish, Castle Without (sp?)Municipal Ward, Shrewsbury.

I'm tring to understand this place "Castle Gates".  Many families lived there, does it still exist and what is the "Eating House" and does that still exist today?

Thanks

Shropshire Lookup Requests / 1841 - 1861 lookups for Shrewsbury
« on: Tuesday 29 March 05 15:51 BST (UK)  »
I recently found the following 1871 British census and 1880 US census records that I believe to be my ancestors.  I am looking for more information on Charles WILLIAMS (b. abt 1820) and his wife Sarah Ann (b. abt 1837).

Oral family history: "Sarah’s maiden name may have been DOWNS.  Charles was a painter of murials.  Either Charles died or Sarah left him before 1880 when Sarah and other family members immigrated to Canada.  Sarah’s father may have been an Itinerant preacher in Castle Gates, St Mary, Shrewsbury."

Any census lookup prior to 1871 that add to this information are appriciated.  Thank you in advance!
