Shropshire Place names ??
« on: Tuesday 10 January 06 21:14 GMT (UK) »

I am not familiar with Shropshire but I would like to locate the following places that do not seem to appear in my map book.

Allston or Alberton I have in both the 1881 and the 1871 census. Is this a miss spelling perhaps  ???

Regards

Hello S.g.d

I have no idea what part of Shropshire  :-[ big county..!

The family were living in Birmingham on later Census returns but John Groom born 1850-ish says that he is born in those places in the later census returns

John Groom married Hannah Yapp in Wellington so maybe it is near Wellington ????
