OK JeannieTel, deep breath

In the Stirchley PRs I found the following baptisms:
May 10 1829 Isaac Hiram son of George & Adah Easthope of Stirchley, Brick-maker
March 20 1831 George son of George & Ada Easthope of Stirchley, Brick maker
March 19 1835 Ann dt of George & Mary Easthope of Stirchley, Brick maker

Note the mother's name change! So I looked for & found the burial of Adah in Stirchley PRs:
January 7 1834 Adah ?Lois? Easthope of Stirchley age 28.

However - I have not been able to find any marriage records - for either of George's marriages 

I have checked for George Easthope's marriage in the following places with no joy:
Stirchley Marriages 1820-37 & Banns 1823-36
Madeley (George's birth parish?) Marriages 1825-30 & 1834-37
Broseley (Mary's birth parish?) 1834-35 and typed index 1813-37
& of course, don't know Adah's birth parish

Not sure what to do next - any thoughts? 

On George Easthope's baptism... I've started looking in the Madeley PRs - 1809-11 checked so far with no joy... but note that the writing is very faint in places, so will repay a closer check.

So... interesting info & some added complications... that's the fun of family history. I did have a thought re George's marriage to Mary - given the absence of Banns at Stirchley (surely George's parish, even if not Mary's) maybe he married by licence

what do you think - take your time & we can try to think where to look next 

cheers
Rosemary

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

Thank you Rosemary i am certain this is my families Joseph Cooke and it confirms what was on the IGI. The place could be i think Tetchill More as i am sure i have seen it somewhere along my research.

thanks once again i just need to find Josephs marriage now.

hi rosemary..could you possibly find out the mother and father of thomas adams born 1806 astley shropshire...if you could possibly view his birth certificate..  its very kind of you to offer...my family are from astley back to 1570..presumably you aren`t far from astley...would you happen to know whether middle/myddle comes under astley church parish...the reason i ask is that thomas is down in 1 census as born in middle...as another in astley....all the family came from astley,so it puzzles me...regards...allan
