Shropshire archive,look-up request

If anyone is going to Shropshire archive, any chance of a look-up please? I'm after family details for Samuel Watts, possibly born Church Stretton in 1806. Trying to trace his parents.
Records ref. number is; CB 1754-1812(21-33)
Church Stretton P67.
Many thanks if anyone can assist

Hi Wattsy1,
I've had a look through the Church Stretton baptism records for 1806, and about 10 years each way, at Shrewsbury Archives but there's no trace of any Samuel Watts; in fact no Watts at all.
Perhaps another parish ?
Regards,
Maurice

Hi mauricej,
Many thanks for that, appreciated. Back to the drawing board for me then by the looks of things! Obviously born in a different parish.

Hi Wattsy1,
There's a Samuel Watts baptised at Lydbury North on October 18th 1803, son of Roland Watts and Elizabeth.
Could he be 'yours'; Lydbury North is about 8 miles SW of Church Stretton.
Regards,
Maurice
