Hi, I would be glad to share info with you (not that I have much  :) ). It might be easier to contact each other away from this site.  I am on facebook Jeannie.charles9 if that helps x

Hello. You are right in your supposition outlaws, my connection is with Florence Edith, who was my grandmother. She married my grandfather William Thornborough in 1919.  She died, sadly, about 6months after the birth of her second child, my aunt Florence Jean, known as Jean. Her first child was my father Charles William.   I heard from another family member, actually one of G ertrude's daughters, that there was a brother who she remembered visiting them in a guardsman'is uniform. As a child, she remembered particularly his bearskin helmet 😊.  Would this be your husband's grandfather?

a few words quoted by someone I have never met from a book I have never read - and I am in tears!!  thank you so much Old Rowley, I am soooo buying that book!  I have read and re-read those few words in your email a dozen times already!  This was the Grandad I knew - his shoes were always polished to a mirror-shine (and therefore so were ours) and he wouldnt stand any nonsense even from us little girls looking up at him in awe and wonder.......

How fabulous!  thank you very much indeed.  I am amazed at the speed of your responses.  My grandfather was mentioned in Airey Neave's book apparently although I havnt read it myself. 
I will check out the references to Hohenfels.  thank you again.

I would appreciate any guidance regarding POW repatriation logs.  My grandfather RSM William Thornborough was a prisoner of war, I think in Stalag XX-A in western Poland.  He was definitely in one of the camps with Airey Neave but I am pretty sure it was not Colditz.  Can anyone please direct me to where I could find any information?
kind regards

thank you so much for taking the time to check this for me. 

So, two Mrs. Easthopes eh?  I wasnt expecting that.

I will have a ponder and get back if I think of any other avenues.

thank you again

Yes, these are the fruitful two that I am interested in!  I contacted someone else who was looking at the Easthope family (seems it was another branch tho') and was given the Shifnal George info.  I am not 100% about it though hence my request to you to look for George and Mary's marriage. 
Incidentally the family I know now have been catholic for as long as they can remember - I dont know if this might have a bearing on which records you look at.

Thank you

Good luck with your next visit - I hope you didnt have far to travel!   ;)

When you go to the archives, I would appreciate it if you would look up a marriage for me ie George Easthope and Mary ?  in the Madeley/Broseley/Shifnal area. around 1830 (sorry if this is vague).The inforrmation I have is from the 1851 census ie
George Easthope aged 41, born Madeley
Mary (wife) aged 39 born Broseley.  Their first child Hiram was born in 1830 in Stickley (Sturchley?). 

I have some information from another source which might suggest that George is the son ofRichard Eastop and Elizabeth of Shifnal.

Thanks.

Thank you for your efforts.  I have looked on freeBMD and Ancestry.  I have sent for two birth certificates because there were 2 children born 1869/70 in west brom area called Jabez Webb, but I was hoping that the marriage certificate would identify which one is mine via his father's name.    His daughters' birth certificates and Florence's marriage certificate all have him as Jabez Ernest Webb.

I suppose I may have to accept that they might not have got married afterall.  They were down as married on the 1981 census tho' and the girls' birth certificates give mothers name as Rosanna Webb, formerly Smith.
