Title: George Shailor
Post by: curtisd on Friday 21 September 12 12:56 BST (UK)

Searching for ancestors of George Shailor born around 1670 Purton, Wiltshire. He had at least one child, John Shailor.

I have searched FreeREG and familysearch and cannot find anything.

Hi

I found details of Shailors in Purton and Wanborough (8 miles away) here

You might want to be creative with the spelling, in those days names were often written as they sounded. This resulted in many of the variations of names we have today.

Thank you for your advice. I previously did this and found results on family search.

I managed to find:

1. Richard Shayler
1.1. Richard Shailer (1635-01-24)
1.1.1 George Shailor (1673-02-10)
