Shropshire / Parish records for Wagbeach area
« on: Sunday 01 October 23 13:13 BST (UK)  »
I'm researching a Purslow family name, mainly in the 1800s. They lived in or near Wagbeach in Shropshire, nearest town appears to be Minsterley, nearest church possibly Snailbeach.
I can't find any baptism or burial records online for this family, or indeed parish records around that area. Does anyone know where I can look next please?

Shropshire / Dicken Hinton
« on: Thursday 11 May 23 10:00 BST (UK)  »
Good morning, I have decided for good practice to try and gather together a birth, marriage and death cert for my direct ancestors. Some I have and some others have kindly shared with me. My Gt Gt Grandfather was Dicken Hinton and I have a mar and death cert but no birth cert, and I just can't find the registration. He's fairly easy to search with the first and surname combination (although sometimes transcribed as Dickon or Dickin) in fact I've never come across another Dicken Hinton apart from mine.
He was baptised 02 May 1842 in Ightfield Shropshire, to parents John Hinton and Martha nee Darlington.
His ages on census are
1851 - 8
1861 - 19
1871 - 28
1881 - 38
1891 - 49
1901 - 58
1911 - 69
He died 20 Jan 1920 aged 78 on the death cert
his siblings were mainly registered in Wem and Whitchurch
I have searched the years either side of 1842 but I just can't find him

I have asked this question on a facebook group but still not found him

thank you for reading

Good Morning

I'm researching a family including a Robert Roberts born 1894, he states Presbyterian in his WW1 sign up papers and he married in the Presbyterian church on King Street in 1917 (also from WW1 records)

I can't find a baptism record for him or his siblings and not sure where to start looking for Presbyterian records from that time, if there are any. I have contacted NEWA but they don't have them in Ruthin

Thanks for any help

Denbighshire Lookup Requests / 1841 Census Wrexham lookup please
« on: Wednesday 08 March 23 18:21 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking at a family that through 1851 to 1881 lived in Bridge Street Wrexham, number 22 on some returns
In 1851 the family is
John Roberts age 35 born Bala
Elizabeth Roberts age 29 born Wrexham (on future census she is born Chester)
David Roberts age 10 (in 1861 he is 22!)
Also daughter Margaret appears to have been born 1840 but is missing in 1851

Is anyone able to take a look at the 1841 and see if John and Elizabeth, maybe David and Margaret are there please

I think the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Archive Service may have some documents of interest to me and I'd like to visit tomorrow. I can't contact them today as it's a holiday, does anyone know wether I can just turn up at the archives or do I need an appointment to go there

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with Latin on a marriage allegation
« on: Monday 27 August 18 13:05 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to find the parents of Jane Povah who married Richard Hinton in 1706, I've found the marriage allegation which names a Robart Povah and Thomas Povah, I don't think either of these are her father, possibly they could be brothers

part of the allegation is in Latin which I've tried translating but I wondered if anyone could take a look to see if anything points to their relationship with Jane
