Minshall's & Massey's of Wem & Whixall

[Singum]

Could someone please help I'm trying to locate the mother of Thomas Minshall, B: 04 August 1845, I have his marriage Certificate which states his father is William Minshall, Labourer.

Thomas Minshall married Hannah Massey on 25 Dec 1866 in Wolverhampton her father is shown as Thomas Massey.

Any information on any of the above would be gratefully recieved.

Many Thanks

I can't see a matching Hannah at all 

Could you give all te details from the marriage cert? Address, father's occupation, any Massey witnesses ?

[Tati]

If the father was a blacksmith then I'll transcribe RG9/1893 74 3 for you (1861)

Hi Singum,

Nice to see the name of Whixall mentioned - I play Crown Green Bowls for the Whixall village team!

And just to show you what the village blacksmith looked like  many years ago  - have a look here:

It looks as tho Tati has been busy helping you with details - the ? Heath that she found is probably Prees Heath.

If you want anything looking up locally please ask - as the library has the parish records for the local area.

Cheers

Keith
