Shropshire / Williams - Much Wenlock
« on: Saturday 26 March 05 15:06 GMT (UK)  »
My great-grandfather was Thomas WILLIAMS. My father thinks he was born in Much Wenlock. He married Patience Violet JONES in 1907. I thought I'd found him on the 1881 and 1891 censuses - the birthdate and place tied up. The father's name was given as John WILLIAMS. However, today I received the marriage certificate for Thomas WILLIAMS and Patience Violet JONES, which gives Thomas WILLIAMS'S father as Thomas WILLIAMS. Is it at all possible that a mistake could have been made on the marriage certificate? I've failed in all my attempts to track down a definite birth certificate reference for Thomas WILLIAMS and frankly I don't really know what to do next! Any suggestions gratefully received, as I'm really at a dead end here :-/

Shropshire Lookup Requests / Shropshire Census 1861 - WOOD
« on: Wednesday 16 March 05 18:11 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to find GEORGE WOOD, b.1856.  On the 1871 census (aged 15) he was living away from home and working as an Ag Lab for a farmer in Baschurch. Place of birth given as Ruyton, Shropshire (although on the 1891 census his birthplace is given as Stottesden). His father was JOHN WOOD and I believe one of George's siblings was JAMES WOOD.

I will be eternally grateful to anyone who can help me out here :D

Shropshire / Bunting and Wood
« on: Monday 28 February 05 18:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I've only just started looking into my family history. Would be grateful if anyone could let me know if any of these people ring any bells, as I'm keen to make contacts and/or share information.

Frederick Bunting (b. 1863/4) married to Emily (don't know surname) born c.1863. They were both born at Worthen, Salop. According to the 1901 census, they were living at The Patch, Yockleton at that time.

They had a daughter, Emily, born c.1888. Also 4 sons, Frederick, William, George and Albert Edward (my grandfather).

Albert Edward Bunting married Emma Wood. His brother William Bunting married Emma's sister, Sarah ('Sallie') Wood.  Emma and Sarah had 3 brothers and 5 sisters and at the time of the 1901 census the family was living at Mount Cottage, Weston Rd, Baschurch.

Any information re. the Woods and/or the Buntings gratefully received.

Thanks,
Helen
