Is it the Edward who was baptised 20th April 1778 in Weston Rhyn or  his father, Edward, that you are looking for?

Sadley , neither. My Edward would have been born c1740s? problem is  I have no idea where. I have his will from 1797 when he died and his wife ne calls Eleanor. Prior to going to Shrophire c 1778  he worked in a paper Mill in Northumberland from 1770 to about 1778.  four years later he purchased a paper Mill in Weston Rhyn together with a couple more mills and properties.

All I know about him is that he had two daughters bap in Northumberland in 1772 and 1774. I have never found his marriage as I don't know his wifes maiden name. Nor do I know when exactly or where he was born. Could have been anywhere in the country. THere are a couple of Elinors/ Eleanors who married Edward Green's in Shropshire but none of them are the corect people. Thank you so much for your reply. I was just hoping that maybe he hd relatives in Shropshire which might have been the reason for him going there after Northumberland. This myster has ben ongoing for years. How can someone just disappear into thin air and leave no traces. I must have missed something somewhere.

Is this your Eleanor's burial?

17 Jan 1802 Eleanor Green, Paper Mills, Weston Rhyn

There's also another Eleanor Green who is recorded as of Ifton (the other side of the St Martins parish) on 19 April 1812

(While looking for your family, I think I might have found one of my wayward ancestors  )
