Hello,
I'm new to the list (but not lists in general or genealogy) and am chasing a
family round Salop and Lancs...as you do!
I have now got to the stage of finding a Mrs. Sarah FRANCE (wife of John
FRANCE) who is teasing me with her place of birth.
In 1841 she is in Bridgnorth and says she was born in the county (SAL)
From 1851-1881 inclusive she gives her place of birth as Radnorshire.
In
1871 she only says that. In the other 3 censuses she says what looks like:
Penslant, Penstrant and Llanducy.
I've looked on GENUKI and Wikipedia and so on but to no avail. I have tried
the Powys Archives website as well. The closest I can find is Llanddewi
Ystradenny and I have no idea if this is right or not.
I hope someone with local knowledge will be able to sort it out for me.
At the moment I can't find a marriage for her to know what her maiden name
was, so if anyone has a Sarah who married a John FRANCE and traipsed round
Salop and Lancashire before disappearing into thin air, feel free to yell
:-)
Thanks in advance for any help I can get.
Best wishes
