William Darrall of Wellington

[lizdb]

Well done

Just need that marriage cert now to see if his father's name was John or William (probably be something else altogether just to confuse us!!!!)

[wozzle]

think we really need to wait for the cert
before looking any further?

The marriage certificate arrived.

William Darrall, a forgeman, married Pheobe Powis. William's father was William, a miner. Pheobe's dad was George, also a miner.

Brilliant

So it looks as if you have in 1841 with his dad.
And that the 1851 lodger is him (as the other one has mum ELiz., which in 1841 had dad John)

This only falls down if Wm's wife was also an Eliz! Need to compare siblings..  but I have to go now!

"Another local collier Edward Darrell of Holywell in Little Dawley was, according to Trinder & Cox, probably the same man mentioned in Abraham Darby I's accounts in 1709 which show an Edward Darrell employed to 'charck' coals and also clear ditches."

Edward's will of 1726 survives as does Eliza Darrell of 1668 (widow). Also Richard Darwall of 1666. All are of Dawley.

Hi,
We are researching our family tree and not only was this helpful because we finally got phoebes surname but it's very connected to our tree as all of our darralls seem to hail from somewhere around that general area. Most of them seem to hang about holywell lane.

I was wondering whether you had any further information pertaining to Darralls? Preferably further back, as we are stuck, however any information as to how to get past the 1690's would be nice too.

Many Thanks

Who have you got back to? I have a lot of C16th and C17th stuff for the Severn Gorge area - it may take me awhile.
