Title: Help with finding James please
Post by: Helina on Monday 04 April 16 06:29 BST (UK)
Looking for any information on James Price. James was born in 1804 Shropshire, he was baptised on the 17 September 1804 at Ludlow. Parents Bartholomew Price and Martha Banks.  Siblings:
Richard born 1792
James 1795-1799
Sarah born 1802
Bartholomew born 1807
Ann born 1809
Martha born 1812

That is all I know about James apart from brother Bartholomew the others appear just as difficult to find.  Not knowing Shropshire that well does not help.

Brother Bartholomew marries Charlotte Charman, lives and dies in Ludlow, a basket Maker by occupation.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, certainly a strong possibility especially being in the basket making trade.  Found the 1861 entry he is classed as single.  Cannot find the 1851 census as yet, was Mary his wife or sister? although he did not have a sister of that name.

Thanks Kay

Found it, and as you said, Kay, James is down as married.  On the 1861 census the translatation said James is a servant but on the orginal copy he is a basket maker.  Wander how long James had been married?

As Mary was born in Herfordshire had a look at the marriages on familysearch and there are alot of mary's he could be married to, none naming the parents.

Yes I was just about to post that.   Sadly Price is not an uncommon name and at the moment I can't place him in 1841 :-\

Will have to give it a rest, thanks for your help, Kay,  I have found this family very difficult to research.
