Hi

I'd like to see the original but I interpret it to mean that Thomas had died before Martha was born

PS I think I've got the CD with it on but can't put my hand to it at the moment - was yours on Ancestry?

Have a look for a burial of Thomas Maddox around that time

It means that Martha was baptised and she was the (posthumus) daughter of Thomas Maddox  and Martha

This looks like his burial - 11 July 1739

Weston Coton is close to Oswestry - I have ancestors from there.

is  it  that  Martha  was  bap  after  Death 

A dead child could not be baptised, so the question does not arise.

Thanks  Gnu.

Who  you tracing.  I  have  loads  from  this  area.  Both  on  sons  fathers  side. (my  Ex).  And Husbands  side.

Do  you  have  records  for  Bishops  Castle  around  1815  to  1820  ish

[andreabro]

How  sad  that the  father  died  just  around  the   time  the  daughter was  born.

I've got masses in the Oswestry area - I come from the Denbighshire/Shopshire borders. Nothing on Bishops Castle but there are some online booklets.  Also you could put up a separtate look up on the Shropshire board. Pete Edwards has a lot of info.
