Did Thomas die in Wellington in 1796 or was the 'will'/bond that I found of some other Thomas and Margaret?

Must be him, I can't find another Thomas/Margaret that it could be.
might have to wait until i can get to Shrewsbury to check records for his death.

I'll have another look in case I missed it.  Th bond was Lichfield, as one would expect.  I can let you have a copy if you like but it doesn't really say much.

The final handwritten page gives a residence but it's overwritten.

I read it as '......of ? in the township of K? in the parish of Wellington'

Maybe you will know where in Wellington, this would be.

I thought it looked like Ketley but wasn't sure

Think so:

KETLEY, a township and district parish in the parish of Wellington, hundred of South Bradford, county Salop, 1 mile S.E. of Wellington. It is a station on the Wellington and Severn Junction branch of the Great Western railway. The township is situated in the iron and coal mining district of Shropshire. It is traversed by a canal and tram-rail, 1½ mile long, to Oaken Gates pits. Here are many ironstone and coal pits; also several blast furnaces for the smelting of iron. Fossils are frequently found in the coal and ironstone of the district. The village, which is very considerable is chiefly inhabited by miners. From the eminence on which the church stands a view is obtained of the Shropshire and Cheshire plains, with the Wrekin and Black mountains of Wales in the distance. The living is a perpetual curacy* in the diocese of Lichfield, value £158. The church is a stone structure, erected in 1839 at the sole expense of the Duke of Sutherland. There are chapels for Dissenters, and two schools with houses attached for the master and mistress."

I have this Red Lake address in my file for them.
You cracked it   

Thank you
