Sturmey family of Shifnal

[CV-S]

Hello

I have a family, the Sturmey's of Shifnal, Shropshire but don't know much about them.
From the IGI I have gathered:
Thomas Sturmey married Mary and had:
Eliza Sturmey (1818)
Jane Sturmey (1820)
Susannah Sturmey (1822)
Marianne Sturmey (1824)

I know all about Susannah, she is my ancestor and she's the only one I have anything on except the baptisms.

When did Thomas and Mary die? Mary's maiden name? Susannah's grandparents? What happened to Eliza, Jane and Marianne? Are any on censuses?

Any help would be really nice with this family.

Thanks alot

Any clues from what you have on Susannah? e.g who were witnesses at her marriage (assuming she married) were they any of her siblings?

Many thanks everyone!

Susannah doesn't seem to give any clues. Witnesses don't seem to be related, they were Robert Boute and Priscilla Wert.

Thank you Pam, that explains what happens to Jane

Also thank you Margp for the baptism record

Thanks very much Pam

It fits in very well with what I have on Susannah, she married a garden labourer as well.

John Benham seems to be hiding!
Am I to take it that Jane was a labourer in gardens?

Hello

Yes she was a lab in gardens , 1871 census Kew Surrey I think Charles the son changed his birth place to Isleworth and married a Caroline had children Charles and John S lived at the lodge he was a gardener . The owner of the Priory lodge next up who was a widower  lived with servants was Sir Theaphilus Metcalfe? Baronet

Hi Pam, thanks alot

It's sad to think, Charles was a gardener at the Baronet's house, while his poor mother was a labourer.
