I posted my request on
England Counties Shropshire Lookup. It was about the trial of William Woodroofe If that topic would be of interest to you in a look-up I will resubmit it to you on this thread. Thank you Lookin2

Any chance that you will visit Archives. I e-mailed Shropshire Archives and there response "They stated that they can only give 10 min. per q. and they could find no William Woodroofe". Quarter Session Database - 1838 Session and a calendar for Shrewesbury gaol". I don't understand why his trial cannot be found as his name was listed in the Gazette see below.
I have been given a date for William Woodroofe's trial , late of Broseley, Salop, Excise
Officer that was posted in the London Gazette 27 July 1838. Issue No. 19640 of which I would like to get a copy of actual trial. I e-mailed Shrewesbury Archives and they checked Quarter Session database / 1838 sessions, also the calendar of prisoners at Shrewesbury gaol and found no entries for Wm.
Some who were charged at the same time under Insolvent Debtor- Dividend, were told to be at Petersborough on the 31st of August next but Wm. Woodroofe's name was not among them. Any suggestions as to where I could look for this trial. He was apparently let out of gaol early because of a new law that was enacted. Thank you. Lookin
I've found it.....I have a feeling that this will be one for the Reading Room, and original material. Depending on how much time I have I will certainly see what I can find.

Hello Lloydy, This is such a generous offer. Thank you. My query is the baptism of..
Henry Abbots Hodnet 1823-1826
Sometime ago I posted a query regarding the 1851 Hodnet marriage certificate of Henry Abbots to Mary Corser surprisingly giving the bridegroom's father as Piercy Pace. I am still searching for an answer re. Henry's parentage.
On the censuses he gives his pob. as Hodnet areas and also Ercall Magna. Ive checked Ercall Magna but nothing shows. Also he is not the Henry Abbots son of Thomas and Fanny Market Drayton. Ive researched there too. I would be so grateful for any help.

Hi,
I'd be grateful if you could check a Market Drayton burial for me.
The new Family Search site has Mary Simon buried 3 March 1821 in Market Drayton. Is there any additional information given?
I'm wondering if she might be my 3xgreat grandmother who had an illegitimate daughter (Elizabeth Simon) baptised in Moreton Say in 1816 but then disappears into the ancestral fog!! ::)
Thanks,
Jill

Hi Lloydy
Would be grateful for a look up of a marriage in Kinlet Shrops 21 Dec 1794 between George Aschroft b abt 1769 - Surveyor and Elizabeth Evans b ?? - the record on the old site at family search is submitted and I cannot find it on the new site at all. Therefore, if time allows would you be able to confirm these details?
Many thanks
All the best
Z :)

Hello Lloydy,
If have time can you look for a marriage of Thomas Gad to Elizabeth Banks 31 Aug 1823 Market Drayton Shrophire. Any details available would be helpful. Particularly age of both as have a dispute on birth dates and parents.
Thank you so much.

Hi Lloydy,
I wonder if I could take you up on your generous offer and
ask for a marriage lookup please? It took place at Shifnal,
on the 13th January 1800 between Richard Parry and
Elizabeth Hansel.
Thankyou for any help you can give.
Best Wishes

Please don't go to a lot of effort as I don't have an exact date but I'm wondering if there's a baptism for a Mary Lees in Wellington abt 1786-9,she doesn't show up on the IGI but then not all Parish Register entries do :-\ Thank you
-
Lloydy
I expect you have got enough to look up but just in case you get time:
The marriage of Thomas Green and Mary Jones 9 Feb 1835 St. Martins Shropshire.
Also two births if possible.
Ann Stokes 9 Sept 1765 Neen Savage
Elizabeth Stokes 12 Oct 1766 Neen Savage.
Thanks Lloydy

LLoydy
forget what I said above. If you have time for just one look up, could it be this one:
Marriage between David Jones and Elizabeth Stokes 31 Dec 1792 Cleobury Mortimer,Hopton Wafers Parish register.
I'd like to know if they name the parents.
Don't worry if you don't have time.

Hi Lloydy
Thank you for your kind offer. I'm at the end of a long list but if you do have time to squeeze another search in that would be wonderful.
I have a James Lloyd marrying a Mary Chilton on the 23 Jul 1752 in Wroxeter. This makes them both in their 30s, which is a bit old for those days, so I'd like to just verify I have the correct details. I'm hoping there might be reference to their ages or state whether they are widowed at the time of marriage. Also hoping to shed some light on parentage. I have, very tentatively, James' parents as Francis Lloyd & Ann ? but nothing for Mary's parents.
Many thanks
Deb

Sorry to see you are unable to go to the records office today. I do hope you're ok.
Just had a thought re. parentage of Henry Abbots on my previous request. If Henry was illegitimate he wouldnt be entered with that surname. As Henry is a fairly unusual name I would be interested if any other Henrys appear around 1823. Perhaps his mother married an Abbots later...just a thought. Many many thanks.

Lookin........I checked the Shropshire Quarter Sessions database and William wasn't there. I even checked alternative spellings of the surname, just in case.
Sorry I couldn't have been more help.

Z......I'd forgotten that Gwynne had already provided the answer for this :-[ but I checked it anyway. Exactly as above, the only extra information was both George and Elizabeth signed their mark "X", and the vicar was Edward Northey!

DMC.......Thomas Gad and Elizabeth Banks of this parish married by banns 31st August 1823.
Thomas signed, Elizabeth her mark "X".
Witnesses: John Griffiths "X" his mark
Ann Gad "X" her mark
No ages or parents unfortunately :(

Steffy.......This was one that wasn't on microfiche, but transcribed only. I had the pleasure of looking through a rather old handwritten book, and it was such beautiful swirly writing!
Unfortunately, as it was 1800 there was only the basic information:
13th January 1800 Richard Parry and Elizabeth Hansel :) There were, however, the witnesses names: Joseph Heath and Sarah Hansel

Angelfish.....I checked All Saints, Wellington baptisms from 1785 - 1789 and couldn't find Mary. Note that part of 1788 was labelled "faded document" and extremely difficult to even see any words :(
-
The marriage of Thomas Green and Mary Jones 9 Feb 1835 St. Martins Shropshire.
June.......I know you asked me to forget these, but I looked for them anyway ;D
Thomas Green, Batchelor and Mary Jones, Spinster both of this parish married by banns 9th February 1835.
Thomas Green, X his mark
Mary Jones, Signed
Witnesses: Richard Jones, X his mark and Sarah Edwards, Signed
Also two births if possible.
Ann Stokes 9 Sept 1765 Neen Savage
Elizabeth Stokes 12 Oct 1766 Neen Savage.
I checked the Neen Savage baptisms fiche for 1764 - 1773 and couldn't find Ann or Elizabeth.
-
Marriage between David Jones and Elizabeth Stokes 31 Dec 1792 Cleobury Mortimer,Hopton Wafers Parish register.
I'd like to know if they name the parents.
June.......The registers only list basic information, no ages or parents names are included:
David Jones, Batchelor and Elizabeth Stokes, Spinster 31st December 1792.
Neither could write as both signed X their mark.
Witnessess: Ann Ridley and Thomas Newall

Thank you so much for looking up all my requests. You are a star. :-*
I can tell that you love it.
I also have loads of Jones, some Lloyds and one of my Stokes married a Trow but they are in Worcestershire and Shropshire.
Thanks again
June

Never mind, thank you so much for taking the trouble to look for me. i wonder what it will take to flush her out? Maybe one of Tephras winegums ;D

Thankyou LLoydy for taking the time and trouble in looking that up for me, I'm very grateful.

Lloydy
Thank you so much for your time and effort. I see you are kept very busy doing look-ups and I know it is very much appreciated especially by people like me who are not in England. Thank you Lookin2
-
Hi Lloydy
Thanks ever so much for looking. It's a shame there wasn't any extra info on the record but given it was mid 1700's I had a suspicion that might be the case.
I too am not in the UK so I truly am grateful to you and others on this board who give so much help.
Thanks again
Deb
-
Thank you all for your kind replies :)
As the Archives building is in my hometown, doing looks ups is something I enjoy, especially when Hubby is watching football all day ;D ;D
For those of you in other countries, I know how hard it is to do your research, as I have distant cousins in New Zealand and rely on the help of others over there.
Keep the requests coming.....I haven't organised the next visit yet but shouldn't be too far away ;)

Hi Lloydy
Many thanks for your time and for the additional info, very much appreciated!
Take Care
All the best
