Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 11 Send Message	Thank you for your help so far. Most of the information I am getting is from Family Search (Shirley & Erika) and I am veering towards William christened 1 Sept 1771 (Maddie & Abby) and parents William and Jane, so I might look at them a bit closer. Maybe check all who are in Brewood/Kiddermore Green from Shropshire. Again my thanks. Brian

	No Alcock witnesses to the marriage, so no clues there No baptism on FMP or Ancestry NB. In 1841, his birthplace is recorded as 'in County', which means Staffordshire. It's in 1851 when he says it was Wellington, Shropshire
