Ann POULTNEY remarried William THOMPSON & have all data on that 1871 onwards.

Have tried under various spellings POLTNEY, PULTNEY etc etc

Does anyone know anything about the POULTNEY family please?

Couple of public trees on Ancestry are no help

Any suggestions as to where a possible Baptism for Richard may be found?

Are there Methodist registers that may not be on FMPast?

Thanks for that idea, it is Poultney but have been checking under Pountney and anything else I can think of as well.

Thanks rosie99

He says his father is William on 2nd marriage certificate and always says Shropshire as birth county so I think this is probably not the right one

Just wish he'd been a bit more specific as to where in Shrophire

1841 - in Hollinswood [?] Shifnal district.

Will Poultney    60 - engineer
Hannah Poultney    55
John Poultney    20
Hannah Poultney    15
Mary Poultney    13
   
HO107, 909, 24, 2

1851 - again in Hollingswood

William Portney    72 - b Willy, Salop. Engine worker
Hannah Portney    66 - b Brace Meole, Salop
Edward Groom    37 - visitor
Hannah Groom    29 - visitor, b Shifnal [I suspect this is their daughter]
   
HO107, 1987, 300, 37

There's a good match for John from 1841 on 1851, place of birth Shifnal. Also on 1851 a Sarah Poultney b Hollinswood c1818. SO I would guess Richard could be from the same place?
