Hi David,

I'm pleased that you found the information that I researched and posted for you on the SFHS Message Forum useful.

I assume you received the tithe map and location plan that I subsequently  emailed you.

Hi,
Shropshire Family History Society has an online database of many Monumental Inscriptions throughout Shropshire.
There are two BLUD listed (given names aren't listed) both at Saint Andrews, Shifnal. Transcripts are available from the Society for a few pounds.
If you didn't know about the burial that Rosie provided, do you know about the four others in Shifnal that Find my Past list ?

Hi Neil,
It seems the poor quality of the previous image was of my own making. I now realize I have the originals for the whole of Bridgnorth. The house of your ancestors ‘The Cedars’ in Oldbury Terrace is clearly shown below.
Also see two pages from an 1886  Almanack. Mr W Carter is shown as being on the committee of the Charitable Relief Society and as an Assistant Overseer.

Hi Neil,

You asked “Does anyone know exactly which property at Oldbury Terrace this might be?”

On the attached modern County Council map the house at the western end of Oldbury Terrace is identified today as ‘Bendor’ (adjoining Hilly Bank lane)

I have a very poor quality photograph of an Ordnance Survey map for that same area. Although not very clear, I think the same house was called ‘The Cedars.

Hi Neil,

Re the newspapers. The Bridgnorth Journal is not available ‘online’ for all years. However, issues for nearly a 100 years are available on micro film in Bridgnorth Library. Many years ago, I spent thousands of hours reading every issue from 1852 to 1920. In chronological order, I recorded the name of every Bridgnorth person or interesting event and subsequently published two books. The aim is to use the books as a ‘finding’ aid and then view the micro film for any additional information. Later a third book followed covering 1972 to 2009. Those later years are available in the original printed format.

With the micro film reader being broken, I can’t presently obtain further information about those 1904 to 1908 deaths. The 2001 sales details for Vine Cottage, 14 Railway St are in printed format as photographed below.
