Title: 1851 census - Worthen area
Post by: ozwendy on Wednesday 25 May 05 03:15 BST (UK)
Hi

I am looking for Richard Williams b: approx. 1811 in Lydbury Shropshire and Martha Williams b:1847 in Worthen.

In 1871 Richard was living  in Worthen, Shropshire, at 142 Meadowtown Hill, next door to his daughter Eliza Gardner who was born in 1838.

In 1871 Worthen was listed as being in Montgomeryshire, but in every other census it is Shropshire. I haven’t yet found him in 1861. He could be living with a wife Elizabeth b: 1811 and children could include Eliza and Martha.

In 1861 Martha was living at Bog, Wentnor with Eliza.

I’d be interested in anything at all, even if it doesn’t match exactly.

Thank you very much
 :)
Wendy
