Hi Gwynne,
Thank you so much for the reply - I put the request on this list first before emailing you privately - you have helped me so much with my Benjamin Guest in bridgnorth. ( This family are the inlaws to Benjamin Guest ) This list is most amazing - with so many people eager to help. I have had a number of brickwalls broken down here and built up a relationship with a few folk. Knowing your expertise in Bridgnorth and Shropshire you are going to be a huge asset to this site. Enjoy!!

hi Gwynne,
Before when I was looking for benjamin, you had giveb me the the info from 1851 with jane and mum sarah living with the Barkers. It says Sarah was the daughter in law so does that mean that Richard was perhaps illegitimate or second marriage - any ideas would be gratefully received.
