Find Ancestors

Hello Gerry, Could you help me with any Richards in Madeley & Rushbury please. I'm interested in a Caroline Richards, aged approx 15-20 and Ellen Richards, who is app 1 - both should be in Madeley. These 2 aren't necessarily part of the same family, unfortunately. I know that Caroline's father is called John. Caroline was born in Rushbury, Shrops, which is where Ellen was in 1851, but Ellen was born in Madeley. In 1851 Ellen is with John & Diana Richards, but Diana is too old to be mother of either Ellen or Caroline! - maybe grandparents. Thank you Helen

Gerry. Thanks for kind offer,could you please check for a George Roberts born around 1826 in Dawley Shropshire,I think the census place may be Wellington ,also if possible is the name of his parents on the census,these would be my G.G.Grandparents. Many thanks Alan

Carol Sorry....... no sign of any Cooks in Cardington and Enchmarsh, both of which were very small villages. Gerry

Susan Better luck this time!!........... I found them in the nearby village of Newton........... they had 5 children at the time! I also found another Carr family in Middle................ Joseph and Sarah also with 5 children............ may be related. Let me have your email if you want copies of one or both entries. Gerry

Deany Found, in Cound, Hannah (50) and Sarah (55) Millichip....... spinsters of this parish? Also found the ones you asked for....... William Millichape (thats how i read it....... quite difficult) plus Mathew (45) Mary (45) another male (cannot read the entry) aged 45 and 3 children William (12) Mathew (15) and Martha (13).

Hi Gerry. May I trouble you once againe please ,on the census did it give the place of birth for George Roberts {60} he was my G,G,Grandfather many thanks. Alan.

Alan The 1841 Census was not that refined......... the last column should say born In county or out of county and that is all ..... so usually shows Y or N

Any more for any more?????????
