hi katie,

it is a very dark photo and he is so much older wearing a hat.  did not look very tall.  he went to canada with my great grandmother in 1917, she was edith vernon.  she left my great grand dad with the children.  i am in contact with my relatives over in now usa, although saying that they have gone a bit quiet at the moment, so i am a bit worried about them.  i will try and contact them again and ask what his job was.  i understood he was the gardner at my great grand dads house, but that might not be true and just being nasty that she ran off.  do you have any other information about the steele family as one of my relatives sent a lot of photos very old, and i have no idea who they are.  i will look for them and see if they mean anything to you.  steph

hi pauline

thank you i have been trying to trawl through st chads parish records but it was not easy.  it just seemed to show births.  i am on familysearch.org and findmy past would it be better to go on to ancestry.

hi pauline

i know from a family bible that william partridge was married to a mary and had elizabeth baptised in meole brace shrewsbury in 1823 then caroline in 1826 in st marys.  however mary died in 1829, he married again in 1830 tomary wynn

it ws a relative that researched and he had found williams born in acton burnell in 1774 father thomas and mother sara, marrying first phoebe morris in church pulverbatch in 1799 etc etc.  it is so easy as you know to find ancestors to fit in.  [sounds good]

i did some research and a william being born in meole brace in 1774 but baptised in 1783 father john and mother mary. 

because william died before the 1841 census there is no record of where he was born.  and of course mary the died before the census.

just was wondering how i could authenticate these lines.  are there parish records for mary elizabeths mother that would show where she was born. 

hi all not been on here for ages, am trying to authenticate if i am on the right lines of family history.  i have william partridge being born in acton burnell 1774, marrying phoebe morris in 1799, phoebe died in 1818, william then marries mary burguin in chuch pulverbatch, mary dies in 1829, william then marries mary wynn [which i know is correct]

just trying to find out if anyone is related to this william partridge who ws born in acton burnell and married phoebe morris and mary burguin.  am i on the right lines.

thank you
