To add to this thread (7 years later)
I have just found my connection to the Guest family of Broseley.

I have for years struggled with my Harris family that originate from Birmingham, however this weekend I found a grave in Madeley which has revealed a fair few more names for my tree.

My connection is Fanny Guest bn 1771, Daughter of Alexander Guest bn 1741 to John and Penelope.
Fanny married John Harris, unfortunately my search on the Harris family stops again as he died 1820 in London and I can't find anymore information on him.
However the find at least allows me to discover Fanny's family.

 

Thank you for checking....

I will have to rely on the what is written in the Wills, Thomas did live in Drayton also and baptised most of his children there too.

I have this week found after 11 years of putting together my Steele tree (with lots of help from the lovely people on here), that I have followed the wrong tree.... I am however missing the baptism record of my 4th Great Grandfather, (Thomas Steele bn.1771, died 1846 Wellington, Shropshire) which would be my confirmation with this other family.

I came across my 4th Great Grandfathers will, which names a Brother George of Woodseaves. I have since found all the Wills of the family in Woodseaves including his father which names him among his other brothers.
I have been through the parish records for Drayton in Hales and found all the siblings of Thomas Steele, and as mentioned in John Steels Will. But no Thomas

Here is the Family...

John Steel d.1817 Wife possibly Elizabeth Gee m. 1763 Woodseaves

William bn.1763
Jane bn. 1768
John bn.1770
Thomas bn.1771
George bn. 1774
Sarah bn. 1775
Joseph bn. 1778
James bn. 1782

If anyone would like to take this challenge of finding Thomas's baptism that would be really appreciated

Thank you for your help,
Turns out we had the wrong year of birth for Mabel, so was going down the wrong line completely.

Thankfully with a little help from the 1939 register I have now found the correct family, now just to wait for the marriage certificate.... there are far too many Alfred Jones born 1890

Nope can't even find him.... If the ancestry member tree is correct the son George Alfred arrived in Canada in 1901 aged 13. But surely they wouldn't have sent him over there alone?!
