Elizabeth/Eliza Underwood although he didn't marry until 1847

Hi

They married in the Shifnall district I see, which covers Staffs & Shropshire [have you checked the areas covered?], so is that where she came from or may be he did too. Where are they in the 1851 Census?

Hi Wendy

I've been through all documentation for him
1851 census living in Stone Row, Dawley, Malinslee: James from Stirchley, Shropshire, Elizabeth from Malinslee, Shropshire living with her brother.
1861 census living in Stone Row (diff.no), Dawley Malinslee: James from Dawley, Salop, Elizabeth from Old Park, Salop.
Marriage cert: Parish Church Shifnal, both living in what looks like Skedskile but having googled could be Snedshill which is near Dawley.
Death cert: Madeley, Dawley, Salop, living at Hinkshay, Dawley

Looking on multimap they are all very much in the same area near Telford and down as Shropshire.

Wendy, he is down as bachelor on his marriage cert so possibly not. Good straw to clutch at though!!
