Reynolds 1851 Ludlow Look Up Please
« on: Sunday 22 May 05 23:28 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

Could someone please have a look for the following people, I know the information is a bit sparse but I have a brick wall here.

Hannah Reynolds  b 1795  Bromsgrove, Worcestershire,
John Reynolds b 1795  Near Ludlow, Herefordshire

May have Son James born abt 1832 with them, any help would be appreciated I have been stuck now for 2 years, any guidance on where I should go in Shropshire to maybe view Census would also help!

Cheers

DTR

Hi David

A search of the 1851 failed to find any of your Reynolds family – sorry.

You mention elsewhere that James was later a coal miner and that his father was himself a miner. It may be that he is to be found somewhere in the Clee Hill area, to the east of Ludlow. Here you’ll find miners (stone and coal) in abundance (including some of my own ancestors).

Without an idea of a village, I’m afraid the area is too large to search on the off chance.

Good luck.
John
