I know that Moreton Corbet is a way from Wellington but there is this burial record there:
Dec 6 1842: William Casewell, aged 30, abode - Preston Brockhurst
Have you ruled this out?

According to the Wolverhampton Chronicle and Staffordshire Advertiser - Wednesday 14 December 1842, William Casewell, aged 30, was a groom for a Vincent R. Corbet, of Acton Reynald, who was killed by a kick from a horse. He was interred at Grinshill, 2.7 miles from Moreton Corbet.

Oh well, it was worth mentioning it. Is there any report of mining accidents?
Added - a personal note - some of my ancestors were rectors at Moreton Corbet and my line married into the Curetons of Grinhill.

Try “The Shropshire Caving and Mining Club.”
A very knowledgeable and friendly group who will help if they can.
They have extensive knowledge of both the coal mining fields and also the lead mining there.
They have many publications ,I am interested in The Snailbeach Lead Mine
but have not done anything with the coal mining except where coal was used to power some of the engines etc.
Try also the Shropshire board on RootsChat.
Best of luck.
Strangely, for a time, but not sure if still today, The S.C.M.C were associated with The National Association of Mining HistoryOrganisations which is based at the Peak District Mining Museum.

Things may have changed but at least you have something to go on.

Hello Stanmapstone Gadget and Viktoria thanks all for your interest and help.
I did purchase the cert for Moreton Corbett as will was a collier i ruled that one out.
Also purchased the wolverhampton one for William Caswell 1845 no e in name but you never know.
This Will was 74 died of old age so no not him either i will be pennyless at this rate (lol).
I did Wolverhampton because Market Drayton and Shifnal were part of Wolverhampton till 1935.
I have also been on BMD checked all Will C in all areas this is some mystery.
As i said my 3xtimes gran married again in 1846 i have the cert i am at a loss.
regards tobyma123. ???

If a anyone carried out a burial for which the Certificate ( that the Death has been duly registered) had not been made and delivered, as the 1836 and 1874 acts required, either by the Registrar or Coroner, they had to give notice to the Registrar within Seven Days, if they did not they were liable to a fine not exceeding ten Pounds. However this was not always complied with and led to some deaths not being registered.
