I'm looking for any information on Gertrude Callear (particularly her parents). She was born around 1904 in Shifnal and married William Guest in 1923 in Shifnal. William was born c. 1899 in Hanley, the son of William and Clytie Guest, and he died in 1962. I tried to find the marriage on IGI but with no success.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Dear all.
Sorry for the considerable delay in acknowledging your messages. It's been quite some time since I was last on the site and I'm now trying to get back into things.
Thank you all for the information. I haven't had chance to compare it with my information as yet but I'm sure I'll find it useful.
Many thanks.
Chris.

Hi,
Coincidentally, I have just discovered Gertrude whilst researching more.of (my) Callear family tree.
So far, I have around 40 names on the part of the tree that features Gertrude.
Gertrude callear
Parents: Isaiah & Sarah Ann
Grandparents: Enoch & Sarah
Gt-Grandparents: as yet - only found a baptism record that suggests Enoch's mother was named Maria.
Are you connected to Gertrude?

Hi Si.
Many thanks for your message.
I think it's the same Gertrude, b 1904 (or thereabouts) d 1984. Parents Isaiah Callear and Sarah Ann Wall. Married to William Guest 1923. Sister to Albert and Emily Louisa.
When William died in 1962 they were living at 9 Priorslee Road, Snedshill.
William Guest was my partner's half uncle.
I haven't gone any further back than Isaiah and Sarah but if I fine anything of interest I'll let you know.
Kind regards
Chris.

Hello,
Is the photograph Gertrude?
I have managed to search the tree further back and from memory think it contains around 250 names (Callears or spouses).
I have a Facebook group (called CALLEAR CONNECTIONS) in which I share progress with family members which I have been able to connect with on Facebook.
If you use Facebook then please look for our group. We would love to learn more about "your" part of the tree and there is information which you will hopefully find of interest.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I've been down in Shropshire for a Guest family funeral.
Yes, it is Gertrude in the photograph, with her husband William Guest sitting next to her.
I've attached William's obituary which may be of interest to you. I haven't found Gertrude's as yet.
I popped to St. Peter's churchyard in Priorslee to see if I could find a grave for William and Gertrude but I didn't see anything. I did, however, get a photograph of a Callear memorial stone and I'll post it on here when I download it from my camera.
I haven't had chance to look at your FB group yet, but I certainly shall.
Kind regards
Chris
