Ellesmer parish records

[Ali M]

Hi there,
can anyone please tell me whether there are parish records for Ellesmere that go back before 1630 for baptisms and c1655 for marriages. It would also be great to find some burial records.
 
I've just got some of my Mullineux family wills and they take me back before the records on the IGI

I'm quite happy to purchase therecords if they exist.  Otherwise if some kind soul could look up some C17 Ellesmere Mullineux    burials   for me  that would be a wonderful help also

many thanks indeed

Post all the info that you need looking up and when I next go to the Shropshire Archives I'll see what I can find

Mmmmm....I've just checked the Archives website to see what records they hold for Ellesmere and the earliest for baptisms is 1679 and marriages 1685

Thank you so much for your offer.    I had a feeling that there weren't any earlier parish records available though!

Maybe I should re shape my query  -


Is anyone out there also researching  Mullineux/ Mulliners in Ellesmere/Wem?
 I'm looking for the family of a Francis Mx/Mr of Ellesmere who left a 1660 will mentioning sons Roger, Joseph (overseas in the army), son Francis  daughter Mary married to a Mr Harrison, daughter Priscilla plus others in lost bits of the will.

This would make perfect sense if it were the will of his son Francis (who was still alive at least in 1681  )

To make it more confusing this older Francis also seems to have a 1669 will where he only mentions his wife Elizabeth.  This second will is certainly his and makes sense. 

Does anyone else have this family on their tree and can make sense of them?

Many thanks, Alison

Hello again "Lloydy"

I've just noticed you have  Challenor etc as one of your family names.  This exasperating Francis Mx of mine married Elizabeth Chalnor in Wem in 1607.  She is the 1584 daughter of George C. a cowper. 
Is this part of your family also? 

best wishes
Alison

Hello

My Challenor/Challinor line originate in Chester, then to Holt, Denbighshire, Shocklach, Cheshire and finally end up in Newtown, Montgomeryshire.  No connection with Wem

Sorry I can't help with your Mullineux/Mulliners lot, but have you checked the Surnames Interest Table?  At the top of this page in the list of icons (with the green leaves), click on Surnames and you will be able to search to see which other Rootschat members are researching your names, if any.

If you haven't done so already, add your own surnames to the list......you never know who else could be searching

Good luck
Jan

I'll do just that

good luck with your own research
