Title: Charles Bright born Leighton 21 December 1824
Post by: Pauline Yarwood on Saturday 28 August 04 10:32 BST (UK)

Been searching for this ancestor for years. I understand Leighton Montgomeryshire later became Worth Shropshire -- after Charles Bright's birth.
(He lived most of his life around Ellesmere, Salop.)
Any links out there?
