This is probably a bit peripheral, but in tracing my Prestage relatives in Broseley I came across a Thomas Doughty, born c1802 and a former waterman, in the 1881 census. He was born at Broseley and lived at Coalford, and was the grandfather of Edith Mary Harrison (b 1877 at Broseley) who married Donald Llewellyn Prestage, the owner of the tileworks at Broseley, in 1911.
