I may have found a marriage in my Griffiths tree.

Robert Griffiths m. Mary Lockley Dec 1765 Daywell, Whittington.  Another one I'm trying to confirm is Edward Griffiths (gson of Robert) married to Elizabeth Jones, Whittington about 1820.

How does one go about verifying the info to see if I'm on the right track.

Thanks.  Yes it does help alot.  It opens up a Cheshire link.  I found an Ann Roberts and her son Alfred living with an Edward and Elizabeth in Whittington.  I believe she was recently widowed.  Her son was born in Cheshire.
Thanks again.

Peter, considering I "told you off" for calling t he people from S.Shropshire upper whammers- well you said that`s what people from S/bury call them- will you let me join in with other Shropshire chatters PLEASE? My paternal grandmother came from the leadmining area and went into service in   Manchester where she married . Sadly she died in M/C but along came WW2 and I was lucky enough to be evacuated with her sister. I have done a lot of ancestor chasing and visit regularly. Does that make me eligible?
You will gather that I am quite an old lady and if you don`t let me join I will have to start my own chat-line- Grumpy Old Women. Viktoria

May I join in please.

I have relatives (close family) living in South Shropshire and  near Shrewsbury and  a gr gr gr grandfather (James Nevitt) who was born in
Sherrington in the early1800s. (His father was a John Nevitt who hailed from somewhere - not known as yet)

Does anyone have any Shropshire Stubbs, Simon, Ikin or Llewellin?

Hi Jill

I think we were in contact about our SIMON lines some time ago....yours were from Shropshire, mine were from Montgomeryshire   If only we could go back far enough to see if there is indeed a connection.

Hi Jan,

Have you managed to get any further with your Simons?

I'm still well and truly stuck with my Mary Simon who gave birth to Elizabeth in 1816 in Moreton Say. I have a couple of theories as to her identity but nothing - as yet - that's verifiable.

One day....
