Hi Nora T
I live not to far from Shropshire Records Office in Shrewsbury and would be willing to help - BUT!!!
I have never yet tried to find out anything from a records office - as all mine are from far flung counties - I see that you're an experienced visitor - if you give me all the relevant details I need and what to ask for - I have a "brain and a tongue" so should be able to find something out.
Perhaps it might give me some ideas for when I set off for deepest Hertfordshire!!

Cheers

dear keith, thank you so much for your kind offer, and i am not really , that good at family history, i just keep plodding on, with a lot of help from a lady in the usa. i am trying to find, the parents/ family of JAMES TIMMIS,or his death or burial, or the same of his wife CATHERINE  {WALKER} TIMMIS ,    they  were MARRIED at WHITMORE CHURCH  inSTAFFS. in  1784   then had son GEORGE  baptised at AUDLEM in CHESHIRE in 1786,   i have  their wedding papers, which says they were of the county of stafford,and i have george,s baptism papers,from audlem,  neither of these  papers give any information, only their names and the year,i have all the information, from then down to now, except if they had any other children apart from  GEORGE.   why i think the records might be at shropshire, is  the  family, all seemed to go to MARKET   DRAYTON, WOODSEAVES, and FOUR ALLS, and also  the county,s have changed, and what is now part of shropshire, was once  classed as   stafford shire,  any way it is very good of you to offer to look for me, and it would be great if you found something to help break down my brick wall,  but i will under stand if  nothing turns up, and of couse , if we are lucky, i will pay for any photo copies, ect, thanks again for your kind offer, regards , nora
