Title: Place names
Post by: DJH on Sunday 26 October 08 11:20 GMT (UK)

Hello,
I have an ancestor born at MARVEL or MAROEL in Shropshire. Can anyone tell me this place exists, or did exist, and where it is please? I cannot find it anywhere.
Thank you,
David

There's a place called Morville, near Bridgnorth, could it be that?
