Can anyone please help in my search for the aforementioned George Ellis. The 1841 census shows him as Dawley born, but I can find no records re his baptism. Someone told me that some of the parish records for Dawley were destroyed. Is this correct? If not can someone please suggest a starting place.
Thank you.

Hi Sunnymeg.
As you probably already know familysearch.org is the place to go for this stuff.
As for the records being destroyed, I think some were but very few so fingers crossed he wasn't in one of them :)
Was an age given on the census you saw? or parents names to work from as there are a few from the 1810's and 1820's that might be possible.

Is this the George Ellis who married Ann Attwood? If so I've been trying to sort him out for a few years!

Yes it's me again, I've tried loads of websites in desperation, but with no luck.

Hello
Re Berry/Morris/Rivington connection. I am descended from William Berry born 1881 to William Berry born 1845 who was married to Ellen Morris in 1867. Ellen was the daughter of Obadiah Morris and Mary Taylor.
Yes I know and you were exceptionally rude to me and my family some time ago.
Anne.
