I have someone in my tree who is shown as born Moubrook, Shropshire (1861).
Does anyone have any clues where this might be, as I can't locate it on modern maps.

Many thanks

The only place I can think of that might fit is Marshbrook, Shrophire which is on the A49 south of Church Stretton.

Paul

I had another idea - there is also Maesbrook which is south of Oswestry.

On the map the green road that you can see on the left hand side is the A483.

Hi Jan

The only possibility I came up with was Moorbrook Farm in Aston Botterell Parish in Shrophsire - but nothing else to go on yet.
I think one of the three should get me where I want!

best wishes and thanks again
