Hello, the foregoing exchanges are interesting as I am searching my paternal Shutes, I am one too, and managed to search and photo the church baptism records last June (2022).
I believe my grandfather Edward Richard Shute was born in Llandyssil about 1871. I say about as the church record states baptised 29 Oct 1871 but written in the same box is born 3 Sep 1871 but I cannot find anything similar from the freebmd.org website. I found that a birth certificate which may be his is recorded for Newtown 1873 and I’ve just ordered this.
From census records he left Llandyssil with his parents Edward and Elizabeth not long after his birth for Goose Green, Wigan where his brother William Ernest was born shortly after.
Edward (father) and Edward Richard were both described as carpenters or joiners. The latter, I believe, subsequently working at Lairds shipyard in Birkenhead (where I did eventually!). Me Dad (also an Edward) told me very little.
I understand that my great-grandfather (Edward) married Elizabeth Richards around June 1867 according to a record for Montgomery. Another certificate to order!
Incidentally I am the last male in this Shute line so would love to hear from other in “the tree”.
Best wishes, Alan Shute.
