[wrjones]

I found the Marriage on the IGI at Loppington Shropshire on the 13th of April 1820,of a Thomas Chetwood and a Sarah Kynaston.As far as the 1841 and 1851 Census is concerned Welsh Lady,the 1841 Census for the area is missing.As far as the 1851 Census is concerned Ancestry doesn't cover this area.

William Cunningham married Mary Ann Chetwood who was a sister to my great great grandfather Joseph Chetwood. I have done a lot of research into both the Chetwood and Cunningham families, and in particular Matthew Grey Cunningham, their son, who emigrated to Australia in 1887. If you would like to contact me I will be pleased to share information.
