Shropshire Lookup Requests / Re: Goods of Burwarton

I think your William Harley was the son of my William Harley. My search for the 100 year old Harley continues. Have more info I will send when I have some time,

Shropshire Lookup Requests / Re: Goods of Burwarton

That is great information, thanks. I think I understand your familial connections - they did "keep it in the family" in Shropshire even up to my childhood in the 50-60's!
As to William Harley I think he may have been married twice, first to my ancestor Mary Bridgman then to a female Goode who was dead by 1881: he has a step-son called Edwin (b.1854 Eaton under Heywood/Ticklerton I surmise). Some years ago when I first got into this I found a Harley who lived to a hundred but the records were very sketchy (pre-internet!) and I thought this may be him.
He certainly lived to a good age and appears to have outlived two wives. His other son Edwin (Harley) kept the Mason's Arms in Ticklerton when the village needed three pubs due to the navvies and activity on Wenlock Edge building the Craven Arms - Wellington railway. This line eventually led my family to Wellington.
Great to receive such information.

I appreciate your help,

Alan Harley

Staffordshire completed Look up Requests / William Powell of Enville
« on: Thursday 18 February 10 09:48 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for William Powell and any famiy, who was born in Enville in 1835. He moved to Much Wenlock quite young to become an apprentice tailor. Later he found time to combine tailoring with running a pub and having two families (not at the same time!).
Can anyone help me by looking up William in Staffs records? Any help or advice appreciated,

Shropshire Lookup Requests / Goods of Burwarton

I would appreciate any further information on the Good family of Burwarton. Sarah Good, born 1714 at Burwarton married into the Harley family. Her father was Richard and her mother was also Sarah.

Thanks,

Thank you. I must try to look into them at some point as the Harleys have a long history in that area,

Thanks to you all, Stottesdon makes sense. It's obvous that particular census enumerator didn't know the area or how to spell!

Shropshire / Stotherton and Alvesley?
« on: Sunday 10 January 10 18:36 GMT (UK)  »
My Roberts ancestors came from Stotherton and Alvesley and unless they are mispelt I can't find them! Alveley I recognise but no clue to what or where Stotherton could be. Samuel was born in the former in 1796 and Hannah (Ann?) in 1801.
Having lived in Salop for the first 30 years of my life I'm a bit taken aback at my lack of knowledge, can anyone help,

Thank you,

Shropshire / Rowland Harley's Shropshire, 1586.
« on: Tuesday 08 December 09 05:29 GMT (UK)  »
Having got the bare dates of my lineage back 11 generations to Rowland Harley of Ditton Priors in 1586 I wondered if anyone has any research on 'branches and twigs' I've come across. These include Penn, Bridgman, Hamer, Peacock, Griffiths, Good and Croxton. They're all from South Shrops extending to Clun and Ludlow one way and Burwarton and Church Stretton another. Mostly around Morville, Ditton Priors and Chetton in the furthest past.

I'm interested in the places and people they were associated with as much as them individually. I would love to receive documentary evidence of S.Shrops life and stories, hearsay, legend or anecdotal evidence about their 'time and place'.

I'm from Shropshire and hope to move back there next year after 32 years so this is a long term project and I'd appreciate any information,

Thank you,

Alan Harley
