Fanny Minshall - Who are her parents

[Spidermonkey]

Spidermonkey I think you have found them!!!  My Mum, (Fanny was her grandmother) went to Sunday school at St Martins church.
Does the record that you are viewing give John Minshall's date/place of birth?
Are these church records?

Thank-you

Unfortunately they don't tell you any more than that, but it does give a reference number should you wish to get the cert via the registry office rather than GRO http://www.westmidlandsbmd.org.uk/

So I think I may have the right family after all and perhaps Edward Smith is Edward Stephens/Edward Stevens but where is he in 1851?

Family Search baptism
Edward: 5th August 1846 Lllananno, Radnorshire - mother Mary Stephens

1891 RG12; Piece: 2285; Folio 78; Page 30
Joseph and Mary with grandson Edward Stevens b 1874

1881  RG11; Piece: 2865; Folio: 148; Page: 40
The two Edward Stephensand a young Mary

A possible baptism on FS for Mary Stephens, Ruabon 1831 but possibly not- better wait for marriage certificate

Mry Burton must have been included in that tree because of her birth place 

I was put off by the census references you gave but all is well 

good luck

Thank-you Heywood & Spidermonkey, have ordered John Minshall & Mary Stevens marriage certificate.

I have another conundrum with an Irish link for my other Great gandmother but will get my facts right census wise first, sorry Heywood!!

Oh don't worry abgout that - it just put me off a bit. Then I remembered the grandson Edward Stevens and hopefully it will all fall into place.
There is an Edward in Wales in 1851 with Stephens (or Stevens) grandparents and these are different to the FS baptism of a Mary so it's best to get her dad first from the cert. and then proceed.

Good luck
