man's father was a Francis, a cordwainer (Shoemaker). You might find out
more by looking at a Commercial Directory. But note, only the owner of the
premises will be there. A worker, journeyman or apprentice won't be
listed. As Francis (1820) was in Llandegley by the time of the 1841 Wales
census you have to ask why? Had he as a young man just left a dirty
Birmingham for the countryside? Or was he taken there as a child by his
parents? If this option was the case then look for the burial of his
parents in the area.
