What reg district is that under?
I am trying to match births with the right reg district Shropshire is a nightmare!
See if you know the following Dawlet Green , Pool Hill and Light moor

forget Montford.
Dawley Green,Pool Hill and Light Moor are all in Dawley which is now part of Telford as Trees first said.
there is a local history group but their website is down at the moment.
feel free to ask if you have anymore questions about the area.

Don't know if this will help, but I have two births in Dawley, 1875 and 1903, and both certificates show Wellington, Salop as the registration district.

Hi
Which reg office did you send for the certificates
cheers cardiff
-
Hi
I did not send for either of these certificates. They are copies which are dated 1944 & 1948. All I can tell you is that both refer to the sub district of Dawley in the Registration District of Wellington. I did look on Genuki which says that the Wellington district records are now in the Telford and Wrekin District. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
Good luck.
