Montgomeryshire / Watkins of Montgomeryshire
« on: Saturday 20 March 10 21:41 GMT (UK)  »
My great grandparents were John Watkins (born 1856) and his wife Jane (born 1858) who farmed at Llanlugan until the time of Jane's death in 1890. In the 1911 census John was living at Tynyglyn Cottage, Llanfair. He died in 1921.
Their eldest daughter Catherine (born 1881) was my grandmother, and she had siblings Evan b. 1883,  John b. 1885, David b.1887 and Annie b. 1890.  I would love to have more information on this part of my family,  particularly how my grandmother, Catherine, came to live in the Whitchurch, Shropshire area.  I am also keen to find out if anyone knows where John and Jane are buried.

Shropshire / Whitfield family, Hanmer
« on: Saturday 10 October 09 13:52 BST (UK)  »
Part of my family research is of the Whitfield family who lived around the Hanmer (near Whitchurch) area for most of their lives.  However, on the 1901 census Edward Whitfield b 1882, was working as a footman for Emily Thornton and her family at 56, West Side, Battersea, London. This seems so out of character with the rest of the family and I can't help wondering why he decided to take up a post in London - maybe he was just ambitious, but it must have been a tremendous change of lifestyle.  He later moved back to the Hanmer area but I'd love to know if anyone can throw any light on this.

Shropshire / Thomas France, Whitchurch
« on: Friday 09 October 09 19:43 BST (UK)  »
I am researching the France family who lived in the Whitchurch area. Thomas was born about 1815 and was a joiner. His daughter, Emma born 1837 married Ellis Lloyd from the Lower Wych/Iscoyd area - they were my great grandparents and I obtained their marriage certificate which gave me the information about Thomas being a joiner, but this is all I know about that part of my family. I use Ancestry for my research but have come to a standstill and I would be very grateful if anyone has any information or advice as to how I can find more details of them.

Shropshire / Cliff Grange, Market Drayton
« on: Friday 09 October 09 10:00 BST (UK)  »
My ggg grandfather was born at Cliff Grange, Market Drayton in 1794 but although we have driven around the area we have been unable to locate it. I think it may not exist any more, but I would love to know where it is/was and what has happened to it. Any information would be very much appreciated.
