Hi Sarah,

I managed to get to the Archives yesterday and sadly didnt find a marriage.
I checked Worthen, Shelve and Westbury records.

All I found on the family was 2 baptism records in Shelve parish

October 5th 1834
Amelia daughter of William and Martha  Griffith, Bog, Wentnor, Miner


November 6th 1842
William son of William and Martha Griffith, Pennerley, Parish of Worthen, Miner,

I did notice the surname Hodgkiss was common to the area which could be something to look into as there were no Hodgkinson or Hodgcase that I saw.

Hi Sarah

Nether Heath, Upper and Lower, is a township in the parish of Worthen in Shropshire and Bog Mine is the Stiperstones area. They are in the same area.
I can check the parish records for that area when I next go, but that will be after the kids go back to school. I take it your looking for a marriage record and baptism of Isabel.

Hi Pettsy,

Just come across this old thread as I am also researching an ancestor who died whilst at Portland Prison. He died in 1873 too.

Did you manage to find any further information on your ancestor and his time in the prison?

Hi Gillian,

I have a marriage index and there is a marriage in Longford on February 28th 1822 between Joseph Felton and Mary Tildsley.

There are no other details and you should check this out at Shropshire Archives to verify this is correct. Usually
the other details like witnesses names can help.

Hope this is the right one for you

Thanks for looking Gadget.

I have been trawling parish records for this family in so many areas lol

Its the only one of my GG Grandparents that I cannot get further back with. Can't have it all I suppose!

Thanks Gadget  :)

I was hoping to find out her mother's first name for a ref check first.

I think I will order it and hope for the best.

One census entry has her place of birth as being Barkers Green, Wem, which could help if that is on the certificate.
She has a son John, in 1866, the year that she marries. He is said to be born in Ellesmere.
He is a complete mystery too.

Hi Pete  :)

Thanks for that,

I have been looking through my notes to find out why I had discounted that baptism. I cannot remember if it was the father's occupation or later census records that ruled it out.

I'll keep hunting. :)

Hi Mum44

That is a possible. I'll look into that too.
Many thanks

Shropshire / Ann Cooke, nee Rogers
« on: Sunday 13 January 08 16:27 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone take a second look on census records for me.

I have Ann Cooke in Myddle married with her family from 1871 onwards.

She gives her age as being born 1843/44 on these census records and her place of birth is given as being Wem, except for 1891 when it states Myddle.

I am struggling to find her with her parents.
In 1861 she is in Harmer Hill aged 16, a servant.

Her marriage cert states her father is William Rogers, Labourer.

I have found one entry in 1851: HO107, Piece 1992, Folio 322, Page 40 but I'm not convinced it is my Ann. I have tried to find this family in 1841 to rule them out but cannot find them either.

A second pair of eyes would be great
Thanks Allie
