The Wenlocks of Shropshire

[mezentia]

I need some help with the following:

The marriage details for Thomas Wenlock and Margaret, believed to have married in Silvington or Hopton Wafers in the 1730s

The baptism place for their son John, born  about December 1738.

I'm also searching for burials for a John Wenlock, born about July 1779 in Farlow, and his wife Sarah, nee Bishop, born 1784 in Aston Botterell, and as they had a son born 1807, the date will be after that.

I've a familysearch record for John born 1739, but the location is just Shropshire 

Thanks

David

Thanks, Rosie.

I've found the baptism image now on FindMyPast for John born 1739.

The marriage in Ribbesford is quite a way from where Thomas and MArgaret lived, and Worcestershire too. The date is given as 1 Jan 1738, but I wonder if that should be 1738/39 (i.e. when the year changed in April) and if there was maybe a child earlier than John, born 22 November 1739.

You might find the above helpful it covers many Salop BMD records, like the above for John below.

1739 Jan. 1. John, s. of Thomas Wenlock & Margt ... bap.

Interestingly the name Wheeler is very common in the parish of Kinlet in the Diocese of Hereford.
It would be my guess Margaret was born there but you will be spoilt for choice.

Thank you Colin. 

I've used medlocki before, I'll revisit, to see if there's anything else of interest.

A couple more records at Kinlet, none after 1747 either they moved or I missed them when I scanned through.The records continue to 1840.

1742 Sep. 29. Margaret, d. of Thomas Wenlock & Margt. ... bap

1747 Jan. 20. Thomas, s. of Thomas Wenlock & Margt. ... bap.

Plus on freereg, which I may have missed Elizabeth WENLOCK   Baptism   15 Apr 1745

Silvington – no records.

Hopton Castle records 1538 to 1733 very few in the last 3 years.
