NURSE in Shifnal

[Martinom]

Eleanor Reynolds was baptised in Kemberton 25/6/1764.  She married John Nurse in Kemberton on 28/7/1785.  In the 1841 Census for Shifnal she is listed as Independent, aged 70, born Shropshire - presumably then a widow.  I need to look at the Shifnal parish registers for her death subsequently, as she doesn't seem to be in the BMD anywhere.  I should also like to know when John Nurse died. All help gratefully acknowledged! Martinom

Hi

If you look up Eleanor Nurs you get an entry in the first quarter of 1848 - Shifnal. 

Is this the lady you could be looking for?

Cheers

Pip -

Brilliant! I have ordered the certificate: it must be her! Thank you so much

Happy to help - I'm sure it's her too (hope I won't be eating those words!) 

I had a look on the burial index CD from Shropshire Family History Society to see if Eleanor's husband is listed, sadly he's not.

Anyway, good luck with your research Martinom.

Pip,

Are there any Shifnal REYNOLDS-es on that Burials CD I wonder?

Or in Kinlet?

You're in luck - there are quite a few for both places.  Are you looking for persons in particular?

I've sent you a PM re the burials.
