Thanks Lloydy,
I've had another 'dig' at this branch of the tree and think it's now the 1810 chap!
I found Jane Partridge - her parents were the publicans at The Horseshoes in Ratlinghope which has been used to film some of the scenes in "The Green Green Grass" for BBC1!
I'll order the marriage certificate to prove John's father one way or the other!
Kind Regards,
Karen :)

Your welcome Karen :D
That's interesting about the pub being used for filming........I know Ratlinghope and the pub, but haven't been there for many years.
Good luck with sorting out the right Pinches father :D

If they came from Ratlinghope, you may struggle to find them as the baptisms only start in 1794. However, there is a transcript at Shropshire Archives that goes back to 166X, probably from BTs.

Hi Dawn,
Catching up with some old posts - I believe Mary was from Alberbury. I have a marriage of William Partridge and Mary Burgwin 24 August 1819 in Pulverbatch. William is last seen on the 1841 census and all I have is Shropshire. Both born c1794.
