Title: Lookup Please - Ashbrittle/Stawley Parish Records
Post by: susannahbedez on Wednesday 24 August 05 11:44 BST (UK)

I am looking to confirm the birthplace/date of my Great Grandfather - William Sprague, son of John (and Ann?) born in either Stawley or Ashbrittle around 1839.
Sprague is also listed sometimes as Sprage. Can anyone help?

Thanks Jack -

although I already had that - it is just that in the 1841 Census William is 2 and in 1851 - he is 10! Just wanted to try and pinpoint birth year, but maybe I just won't be able to...........

Regards - Susannah

Dear Susannah,

Sorry this email is a little late, given that you posted your message about our great great grandfather, William Sprague, in 2005, but it is only comparatively recently that I started genealogical research, and joined this site. I doubt that I have acquired as much information as yourself, but I have accumulated some which may be of assistance.
