That certainly sounds like her, so it seems Granny was right. ;D

There are a number of potential entries so you need to action as follows

Using the link below - search the Shropshire index for the registration district covering Kemberton

http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/

Using that reg district - search freebmd for entries falling under that district in the time scale - bear in mind she was 1 in March 1871 but could have been born in 1869

If that still produces more than one possibility - see below

Search by GRO

If you have done your own searching in the GRO indexes and have found more than one reference to the name you are researching, or are unsure which is the entry you require, the GRO offer reference checking online.

The charge is £7 for action on the first entry, which includes the cost of the certificate, and £3 for checking each subsequent reference against the information you have provided.   You have the option of asking them to either stop at the first reference which agrees with your information or to check all references

You must give them one piece of information that you are sure will appear on the certificate for example,  the exact date of the event or a parent(s) name(s). You must fill in the reference checking sheet which is accessed by pressing the reference checking button near the bottom of the page,  and fill in all the fields that you would like the entry to be checked against before
you press the 'Submit' button. A certificate will only be issued if the entry they check matches the checking point you give them

Thanks for that, Carole. I found her on FreeBMD as being born in the September quarter of 1869 in the Shifnal district.

Now what? ;D Any tips on finding out more on their parents, and get further back? I can't find a marriage for them that I'm certain of, and there are too many George Joneses born c1846 in Shifnal...

Hi

You will need to buy a copy of her birth cert to find her mothers maiden name.

That will help you find their marriage
