Hi hankles

here is a possible. On IGI (at familysearch.org) there are
a few Fowler families in Worfield, this is the one with a John Fowler,
born a little earlier than 1851 though. If you wish i can give you
the other fowler familes too.

1851 Census
HO107/1986 Bridgnorth
Worfield

Name relation age occupation birthplace
Richard head 36 ag labourer  Worfield
Elizabeth wife 28
Edward son 6  Worfield
Samuel son 4 Worfield
John son 1 Worfield


Elizabeth's place of birth is Badger, Shropshire on the 1871 census
where the family is living in Darlaston Staffordshire (i can get you
details if you wish) but on the 1851 census she is not born in the
county but the writing is quite bad - so the best i can do is "Ba?ger *****tshire". All people born outside of Shropshire are marked and she is, and Shropshire for county of birth is written as Salop and Elizabeth doesn't have Salop against  her name.


hope this helps
Tara

as i wrote the 1851 census says that Richard is 36 and born in worfield so that would make him born in about 1815.... (in the 1871 census he is age 56)

there is this record on IGI:

RICHARD FOWLER 
  Male     
Event(s):
 Birth: 
 Christening:  12 SEP 1813   Worfield, Shropshire, England
Parents:
  Father:  JOHN FOWLER  Family
  Mother:  SARAH     
Source Information:
 Batch No.:  C037582 


hope this helps
