George Trow of Forden
« on: Saturday 18 August 07 12:45 BST (UK) »
I am trying to search my family

My Grandmother was a Trow from Forden. Her name was Dorothy Anne Trow, she was born 1907. Ive been told they came from the Kingswood area of Forden.
I have been told that her father was George Trow born 1877, he married a Mary Jane Redge. Dorothy had 1 brother 3 sisters.
Eleanor known as Nell
Jane known as Ginny
Alice
George Aaron born 1913. He is buried in Forden with his wife Evelyn.

My Grandmother married Walter William Bishop from Churchstoke they are both buried there.
I have changed the details to this message since first posting it. I was led to believe my Grandmothers fathers name was Aaron but he was George's brother.

If anyone as any connection to my family, may it be Trow or Redge i would be grateful for your information.

Dorothy Annie Trow's birth is registered Dec. qtr. 1907 at Forden.   I cannot find a marriage for her father Aaron Trow, nor can I find him on the 1901 Census although I did find his parents.

1901 Forden, Montgomeryshire

Aron Trow            52          b. Churchstoke, Montgomeryshire
Ellen Trow            49          b. Middletown, Shropshire
Charles Trow        7            b. Forden

1891 Forden, Montgomeryshire 

Aron Trow            42          b. Churchstoke, Mont.
Ellen Trow            39          b. Hyssington, Mont.
Aron Trow            12          b. Chirbury, Shropshire
Charles Trow         7          b. Chirbury, Shropshire

1881 Chirbury, Shropshire

Aaron Trow         32          b. Church Stoke, Mont.    Agricultural Labourer
Eleanor Trow       29         b. Hyssisngton, Mont.
George Trow        4           b. Chirbury, Shropshire
Aaron Trow          2            b. Chirbury, Shropshire

1871 Chirbury, Shropshire

Aaron is a servant in Chirbury

1861 Churchstoke, Mont.

Aron a servant in Churchstoke  (even though he was only 12 !!)

Have checked both in England and Wales but I cannot find Aaron Trow in 1851 so have no idea who his parents are.   Haven't looked at the map but the places mentioned above must be close together on the border of Montgomeryshire and Shropshire.   Aaron senior's birth was registered Mar. qtr. of 1849 - District Montgomery, Volume 27, Page 113.   To pursue this back further you will need to get his birth certificate so as to establish his parents.   He married Ellinor Pugh June qtr. 1876 at Forden.   

I had a quick look on the IGI and someone has submitted some brief entries but this doesn't take us back any further.

Aaron Trow     b.5/3/1849 Chirbury, Shropshire, d. 16/4/1920
  married to Ellen Pugh (b.15/5/1849 Middleton Shropshire, d. Feb.1928)

   children: George Trow b.18/1/1877 Chirbury, Shropshire
                  Aaron Trow   b.13/3/1879           ditto
                  Charles Trow b.9/4/1883            ditto

Good Luck.
