Hi everyone
Trying to find the baptism of Richard Poultney b Shropshire c1811, exact place unknown
Father William POULTNEY, engineer
This is what I have found so far ... .
Children with Rebekah BIRD ..... Sarah 1838 (d1844), Rebekah 1839 (d1844), Rachel 1840, John Abraham 1841 (d1844), Thirza 1843, Edward 1844 (d1845), Edwin 1848,
Children with Ann BUMFORD ..... Richard 1850, Sarah A 1852, Hannah 1854, Robert W 1856, Susan 1860, Matilda 1862.
1837 Jan marriage Rebekah BIRD at Madeley , no age given
1841 Census Stirchley forgeman, aged 36 (should be 30?) Shropshire, born in county
1847 Death of Rebekah, burial at Stirchley
1848 Sept remarriage, widower, forgeman, to Ann BUMFORD at Stirchley, full age,
father William POULTNEY, engineer
1851 Census Dawley, puddler, aged 39 b Salop
1861 Census Glasgow Scotland, iron puddler, aged 49, born England
1864 May Death in Sheffield, aged 53 Bridge End, Attercliffe
Burial at Burngreave Cem, Sheffield & noted on M.I. at St James in Stirchley.
Ann POULTNEY remarried William THOMPSON & have all data on that 1871 onwards.
Have tried under various spellings POLTNEY, PULTNEY etc etc
Does anyone know anything about the POULTNEY family please?
Couple of public trees on Ancestry are no help
Any suggestions as to where a possible Baptism for Richard may be found?
Are there Methodist registers that may not be on FMPast?

One to consider

Thanks rosie99
He says his father is William on 2nd marriage certificate and always says Shropshire as birth county so I think this is probably not the right one
Just wish he'd been a bit more specific as to where in Shrophire ::)

1841 - in Hollinswood [?] Shifnal district.
Will Poultney 60 - engineer
Hannah Poultney 55
John Poultney 20
Hannah Poultney 15
Mary Poultney 13
HO107, 909, 24, 2
1851 - again in Hollingswood
William Portney 72 - b Willy, Salop. Engine worker
Hannah Portney 66 - b Brace Meole, Salop
Edward Groom 37 - visitor
Hannah Groom 29 - visitor, b Shifnal [I suspect this is their daughter]
HO107, 1987, 300, 37
There's a good match for John from 1841 on 1851, place of birth Shifnal. Also on 1851 a Sarah Poultney b Hollinswood c1818. SO I would guess Richard could be from the same place?

Or maybe a wider range, as these look to be baptisms of other children of the couple, with various places involved
Anne Pountney 18 Mar 1810 Meole Brace
William Pourtney 25 May 1814 Meole Brace
John Poultney 10 Nov 1818 The Coal Pit Bank Wesleyan, Wombridge, Shropshire
Samuel Poultney 25 Dec 1818 Shifnal, Shropshire, England
Hannah Poultney 10 Apr 1822 The Coal Pit Bank Wesleyan, Wombridge
