Hallo, I have just come across your message re Guys of Shropshire, My Guys came from Oakengates, whcih in the 1700's was mainly a colliery village, and Wombridge was the bigger place. Now its in reverse, Oakengates is quite a big town! My ancestors were Thomas Guy bap. 6th Oct. 1799 at Oakengates, and wife Elizabeth, dont know her maiden name yet! They had a John Nelson Guy born at Old Birchhills, near Walsall in 1827c. He was my Gt. Gt. Grandfather. He married Mary Ann Page born in Darlastone, Staffs. John had siblings Rebecca, 1836c, Elizabeth 1839c, Thomas bap. 28/11/1841 and died 13/9/1843., then Ann Maria 1844, Lucy 1850, Emma 1851, and Enoch 1853. All registered at Wednesbury, near Walsall. Lucy married a Thomas Cooper and they had a Jane in 1871c.
The family later moved down to Co. Durham with a little stay of minning in Northumberland. My direct line went down to Sussex when the Page Bank mines, in Co. Durham closed in about 1930.
Does any of this relate to your family at all?
Jane
