Hi Floridagirl

Oswestry is 17 miles North West of Shrewsbury in Shropshire
Stokesay is about 29 miles due South of Shrewsbury.

Dulford is about 11 miles North West of Honiton in Devon.

No such place as Dudford

Thanks for the info Chris. Do you know where the marriage records for Stokesay would be held, would they be in Shrewsbury? I have found a possible marriage for my great great grandparents, but I am currently waiting on their daughters birth certificate to arrive before I send off for the marriage info.
If you ever need anything looking up in Liverpool, let me know.
Bye for now.

Hi,

There is a Ludford in Shropshire, also Tugford and Burford.

Could these be possibilities for Dulford/Dudford?

Regards,
Sasha.  :)
