Hi, I wonder if any one as been researching this family, I am descended from William Gregory who married Selina Wood. Looking at various family trees my lot may have originted from the Shawbury area but I have nothing concrete. The earliest that I am reasonably sure of is Joseph who married Catherine Jones in 1796 at Wrockwardine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In order to give a sense of dates, I think this may be a child of William & Selina:
GREGORY, CLARENCE ERNEST (Mother's Maiden Name:) WOOD
GRO Reference: 1903 J Quarter in SHIFNAL Volume 06A Page 640

Yes Clarence is one of mine, one of 9 born to William and Selina born between 1882-1903.

How much research have you done yourself?
Censuses? Birth certificates? Marriage certificates?
Online trees are not to be trusted! One mistake, and everyone else copies it ::)
You really need to follow back, generation by generation.
FamilySearch.org is free to use (but you do need to register).
FreeBMD is free.
FreeReg is also free and may have the parish registers you need?

Thanks for the advice and info, all of which shows that Im on the right track. On 1841 census have found John Gregory with wife Mary and family at Glasshouse Row. Its getting back further that is problematic at the moment.

I have been researching the Gregory Family tree and have gone back as far as 1698 to John Gregory my 7x Great Grandfather. If I can help let me know
-
Hi, John Gregory is my 4x Great Grandfather married to Mary but not sure going further back. I think Johns father may have been Joseph Gregory but not sure. Are you local to where the family lived ?
-
No I dont live near where the family comes from. My branch of the family moved to London in 1900's

I just wondered what part of the country they moved to, the branch of the family Im from - from Joseph and Catherine through to William and Selina stayed in this area. I myself was born not far from where they lived throughout the 19th century. I will sort out some info for you that may be of interest to you.
