Wellington District
« on: Thursday 11 October 07 10:24 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Can somebody confirm whether or not 'Wellington Sh' is in Somerset?

I noted a GRO marriage record sometime ago but can't get to my local archives centre to check it. I noted 'Alfred F Stenson Sept 1910 Wellington SH 6a 1607.

Now, as far as I know, Wellington should be '5a' with '6a' covering the general area of the Cotswolds. I can't find Wellington in the Cotswold, so believe that my transcription of 6a should have been 5a.

Can anyone confirm
Thanks
Stenson, anywhere any dates

Hi Nigel,

I believe it's Wellington Shropshire  :-\

Edit: And he's Arthur F instead of Alfred  ;)
