Hello,
Can anyone help me find out anything about the Parents of Mary Price who was Christened in Preston Gubbals on 16th October 1825?
It says they were James and Sarah Price, but I haven't been able to get any further than that!
Any help gratefully received. Jan

Hi Janice
Through the batch number for Mary's baptism in IGI
there is a John Price
4.1.1852 mother Sarah father John
Preston Gubbals Shrops.
Big age gap do you think?

Hello Janice
The parish register gives the additional information that the parents were from Bomere Heath, which at that time was in the Preston Gubbals parish, and that the father was a labourer.
Mary had a sister named Sarah who was christened on the same day so they may have been twins but I don't think there is anything in the original register to suggest this.
They also had a younger sister named Elizabeth who was baptised on 15 Feb 1829.
I can't see a burial at Preston Gubbals for either of the parents James or Sarah and they are not in the Leaton Burial Register which started in 1860 so you will need to do a wider search for their burials.
They don't appear in the Preston Gubbals Marriage Register and I can't see them in the Shropshire Marriage Index but this is far from complete.
It would appear that you are going to have to wade round adjacent parishes to find the marriage.

Hi Trish :)
Beautiful avatar..
Good find in 1841 census, what a pity they didn't put relationships and marital status.
James could be widowed?

Hi Oznannie,
Yes it looks to me that James is Widowed by 1841.
I looked for James 1832 and Thomas 1824 from the 1841 Census and they both seem to end up in Staffordshire.
1881 James says he is born Bomer Heath.(he is married to a Sarah by 1861)
I tried to follow them to try and find James Snr in 1851.

The IGI has a Submitted Record for James/Sarah;
James PRICE born c 1798, Wem, Shropshire
Sara CARR born c 1802, Myddle, Shropshire
Married 02 December 1823, Myddle, Shropshire
I cant confirm the Marriage but it looks possible.
Hopefully someone else can confirm any of this info for you.

Thank you Trish and Oznannie for all your hard work looking for Mary's family.
You have both found so much and it's a real help. I don't know where I've been looking, but obviously in the wrong places!
Thanks again Jan
