I have a record  from late 1700's that has place of birth Wombridge Shropshire and place of death is listed as the bank. Would this be referring to Ketley bank? or other?
Clayton - Leeds, Otley and Richmond Yorkshire
Elliott - Lutterworth, England
Glithero - Whittlesea England and Canada
Rosentreter - Prussia
Watkiss - Shropshre England
Moore - Yorkshire

Hi,

Could possibly be 'Coal Pit Bank', which was in Wombridge.

There was a big Wesleyan Methodist Chapel there which is listed in Hugh Wallis' index; might be worth a look.

in the Telford area Dawley Bank was/is known as "the bank" or more accurately "the bonk" .
