St Martins Shropshire

[Gadget]

Think it's now probably the Marton Myddle, etc. near Astley, Jan.
Allan thinks that his relatives came from there - see 6 August message.

PS - I've been typing in St Martins all morning - doing one of my trees

yep, saw that Gadget but:

17th November 1817: Sarah, daughter of Robert and Mary Williams.
Abode: New Marton, P of Ellesmere

That's what made me think it's the Ellesmere one!!!!!

Marton, Myddle isn't near to Astley

I go to St Martin's every fortnight - step-daughters moved there this Summer   It's about 20 miles from me, and a very windy road

I'm not sure of the  Astley part, except what Allan said  - New Marton and St Martins I know well -`some rellies still live there 

Are you still doing that weekly journey to my home village?

Where is Marton - I see a Marton and Myddleton just NW of Astley on the map ref I gave.

Yes, I see them too, but I was originally thinking of places much nearer to Astley, as I have done quite a few look ups for Allan in the village.  It does help to look further afield

hello all

Marton and Myddlewood are less than two miles from Myddle.

Astley is about 5 miles from Preston Gubbals where the church is St Martin's.

sorry if this is irrelevant.

Very relevant s.g.d. but I think we're going round in circles
