A day in the Shropshire Archives - Look ups done 3rd March

[Lloydy]

On Friday I am going to the Shropshire Archives to do some family research, and while I am there I will be willing to do some look ups for any Rootschatters.

Obviously, I will do the look ups on a "first come, first served" basis, so please let me have as much detail as possible.  Could I please ask that you keep your requests to one per person to make it fair.

I hope I will be able to help you

Hi Jan

Sorry this is a bit vague. I've (finally) traced my Gx5 Grandfather's birth to parents William & Hannah Lloyd in Montford Bridge - bap. 2 Dec 1798. Known siblings 2 brothers John born 1794 & William 1796.

I had great trouble finding Richard on the Census and finally tracked him down living in Birmingham on the 1841 & 51 Census.

I'm trying to find his parents on the 1841 census (a long shot) but I'm not  sure if he moved to Birmingham with his parents and siblings or just with his own family, leaving his parents and siblings in Montford.

I have a suspicion that his parents may have died between 1812 & 1841 and so to help narrow the search down, if a burial register exists for Montford Bridge between 1812 & 1841 is it possible to look for a burial of a William & a Hannah Lloyd?

They were married in 1791 so I suspect they were born c1770 - probably born in Montford area.

If there's not too many, any other information on other Lloyd burials recorded in Montford Bridge would also be appreciated.

Hope you don't mind - if any of this doesn't make sense feel free to drop me a PM

I really need to know the name of Charles Hotchkiss' father.

Thank you very much  for taking the time to do this. I really appreciate it.

Hello Jan, thank you for the potential offer.  We have a family tale of a daughter of Andrew and Annie Lloyd of the parish of Llanyblodwel who drowned at an early age.  There are too many young girl deaths to buy certificates but this is a prime candidate as she fits in a space in the run of other known children and the next child Dec-1891 was called Nellie.

1891 Mar Oswestry 6a 531 LLOYD Nellie (5)

On 5th April 1891 the family, but no Nellie, were at Lynclys Hill so we would expect a burial to be at St Micheal Llanyblodwel before 5th April 1891.

Many thanks if you have the time.
Mark

According to the Shropshire Archives holdings lists there isn't a burial register for Montford for the period you are asking.

I will mention it anyway when I go, just in case.

Please note that I've had to change the day of my visit to the Shropshire Archives from this Friday until the following one - 3rd March (not 31st Feb coz there aint one )  My Mum has double-booked so can't have my son for me this Friday.

Sorry everyone - just hope you don't mind waiting another week.

Ah Montford is Litchfield Diocese - curious that they don't hold those records considering Montford is on Shrewsbury's doorstep!

If you could ask just in case that would be much appreciated.
