Karen,

I have a number of Harpers' on my Family Tree.  I have not gone into names but the areas I have are The Nabb, Wrockwardine;  Donnington Wood;  Dawley,  Lilleshall.

My ancestral roots are in the Donnington Wood/Lilleshall areas.  My line is Humpherson/Leese

If I can help in regards to the information I have provided, please contact me.

Regards,

Doris

Karen,

On reviewing your surname interests:  I have a good many Harpers' on my tree.  Have Thomas Harper (1857), born in Old Park , Dawley, Shropshire.  On Sept. 1, 1879 he married Agnes Humpherson (1860) (who is a descendant I am searching.

I hope the above information has proved useful to you.  Please feel free to contact me.

Hi, I have just come across the name Herbert on my family tree., but alas reached a dead end.
Dorothy Herbert born according to the census in Wellington in 1783. She then married John Wood 1782 in Lilleshall. Descendants of which lived in Wrockwardine wood.
Have you come across the elusive Dorothy Herbert in your Data
