Areas of Shropshire - help pls

[wheeldon]

Unfortunately, I have never had the pleasure of visiting Shropshire, so I'm hoping that someone can give me some local information.

I've just started to track down my Pughs from Manchester back to Shropshire.  Arthur Pugh has put his birth place on various cencus material as

Haston
Nadwell
Ellesmere

I'm hoping that a kind person can tell me how close these areas are to each other, or was he just confused or trying to confuse me   

Many thanks for your time

Hiya,

Nadwell no longer exists (not on my map anyway).
The other two are a long way apart...

Sorry, I suspect that is not what you wanted to hear...

Many thanks Jeff,

Hmmmm the plot thickens. 

I've definately got the right chap in Manchester and I thought I'd found him in Shropshire but with him keep putting different places of birth down, it's too 'iffy' to be sure.

Oh well, back to the census 

Many thanks again for your time

The Arthur Pugh on the 1841 is in Superintendent reg dist ELLESMERE

Reg Dist Baswich

Parish Middle

The Township of HADNALL contains the Hamlet of HASTON

so all is not lost!
Shropshire is so full of little rural hamlets that the enumerators often had their own ideas of which belonged where.thus there are 2 entries for the same family one of which has a cross through it so do not worry if there seems to be 2 9yr old arthurs in 1841.

Thanks Yonderpeasant.

Gosh I hadn't even noticed the two entries 

Many thanks for the advice and for taking the time to look for me

hello

Halston is about 4m west of Ellesmere,just off the A495, perhaps this is your Haston.

Thanks very much for the info, s.g.d.

I think that's probably the one I'm looking for 

Many thanks for your time
