Madeley, Shropshire or Staffordshire???

[willow2670]

I know the area Madeley is in Shropshire, but is there also a Madeley in Staffordshire. Maybe it borders both Counties       

On the census's it says my 2 x GrGrandfather was born Madeley, Shropshire c 1832, but on another Staffordshire.

Can anyone please clarify this for me.

Many thanks

Donna,
Thanks very much. This is very good of you. If you can, could you look for the following on the 1841 census?

William BURTON, (Parents unknown)born @ 1833 +/- 2 years Madeley, Shropshire?? The earliest sighting I have of him is on the Staffordshire, Wolstanton, 1851 census.
The 1851 transcription is:

1851 Wolstanton
Joseph Lightfoot Head 50 b Madeley, Staff
Mary  Wife 45 b Wydenbury, Cheshire
Elizabeth Dau 10? b Madeley, Staff
Andrew Son 10 ?? b Wolstanton
Philip Son 4 b Wolstanton
William Allen 23 Unm Lodger b Whitchurch, Cheshire
John Allen 22 Unm Lodger b Whitchurch, Cheshire
William Burton 18 Lodger b Wolstanton, Staff

Lightfoot & Allen play a key role in my family tree, so if you see them also, could you please give me the details?

Many thanks for your time.
Regards Sue
