Hi all.
Busy day. Sorry, but I'll have to cut down on the enquiries for long lists
of the same surname at various parishes - takes far too much time and other
folk are waiting for theirs. But, I'll give you what I can.
Meanwhile, here's today's results:
SHREWSBURY, St. Chad's and St. Mary's. Don't have Holy Trinity or St.
Alkmund, sad to say.
Ernie Careswell looking for Careswell. He's to be found on
<carrenaus(a)yahoo.com.au>
Ernie there were far too many Casewell's etc. to be taken down, but here
are those listed under Carswell.

Ken Richards in Toronto of cold Canada on <krichard(a)interlog.com> was
looking for a John Richards b. c.1806 and wife Catherine nee Pugh b. c.1816
at Shrewsbury. Catherine is too late for these registers, being completed
in 1812 in this book form, although there was one Catherine bap. 1812
p638. Catherine d/o Thomas and Sarah Pugh, residence C. foreg. publican,
born 18 Mar. (St. Mary's).
No John Richards of reasonable time found in St. Chads, and in St. Mary's only:
p591. 25 Dec 1805 John s/o Thomas Pritchard, Cotton Hill, taylor and Mary,
born 10th
p615. 19 Jan 1809 John s/o Thomas and Anne Richards, chair maker, Cross,
born 28 Oct 1808.
Remember, Ken, the 1841 census from which you took the details, rounded
ages of adults off in periods of five years, so this John would have been
33 by then, and would have been written down as 35. Over to you. A
possibility. Can you see a chair maker's son becoming a shoemaker! Maybe.
More money in making shoes, perhaps? You have to keep replacing them,
whereas chairs tend to stick around from generation to generation.
Sherry Bonneau on <rsbonneau(a)shaw.ca> has just entered the arena, but as I
had the St. Chad regs in my hand, she receives a quick reply. Sherry was
looking for a William Morris whose son Edward was christened 25 Nov 1796.
Very slim pickings here, Sherry. Only:
25 Nov 1796 Morris, Edward s/o William & Elizabeth (Hills Lane) born the
8th inst. christened.
22 Jul 1783 William Morris and Elizabeth Davies, married. (No others)
Well, that's something, anyway.
ST. MARTINS parish:
Jane McIntosh on <mcintosh(a)icr.com.au> wanted info on William Roberts who
was a miller in Chirk and who was 73 years old when he died Oct 1820.
Possible St. Martins link.
The only ones I could glean from St. Martins, Jane, are these:
p163. 27 Dec 1744 William s/o John Roberts by Elizabeth his wife, baptized
p165. 31 Aug 1744 William s/o William Roberts by Elizabeth his wife, baptized
p175. 29Feb 1756 William s/o John Roberts, collier of The Rock, and
Catherine, baptized
Pam Gardner on <pam.gardner(a)btinternet.com> was looking for any DRYHURST
folk in Oswestry. Well, Pam, I have looked through three volumes of
Oswestry, and none appear, but there is one more volume, which is the first
one, and which I will be able to access within the following week. BUT,
here are some I found in ST. MARTINS. They certainly were very early folk
in the district!
p81. 18 Maii 1599 Hugo ap John Drihurst sep (buried)
p81. 28 Maii 1599 Margaretta vz John Drihurst sep
p125. 14 Sep 1595 Johes Drihurst et Elena vz Edward nupt. (I guess that is
John Dryhurst and Helena Edwards married!)
Now, we're in trouble! I commenced the HIGH ERCALL regs. and am still on
them and will still be on them come tomorrow. So, after all, there weren't
six volumes, but three, and they are in a sad state of affairs, not having
had hard-board covers originally they are tending to fall apart, so one has
to be very gentle with the pages. Anyway, when you look at the
transcribings there are some very interesting things happening in High
Ercall. I don't think it was a dull place to live in at all. There are some
very intrigueing family happenings. And so to work!
Sue Burton on <sue.burton(a)btinternet.com> wanted DOVASTON and variations.
Yes, this has led us down a merry path. One needs to use some of Edward de
Bono's thinking processes here. Follow this carefully. You could write a
novel about this!
p594. 29 Dec 1805 Edward a base child of Elizabeth Dovaston baptized
p660. 3 Aug 1813 William Wood p. of Wrockwardine and Mary Sambrook (with
consent of parents) married. Wit: Samuel Sambrooke and Elizabeth
Doveston (* see further Sambooke's below)
p667. 10 Sep 1820 William Prior and Elizabeth Dovaston married. Wit. Joseph
Hayward and Emma Eaton.
p681. 15 Nov 1837. Edward Doveston of full age, bach, laborer, Sugdon
(father's name not given) and Ellen Peplow, of full age, sp. servant, Marsh
Green, father Samuel Peplow, laborer, married.
Susan Evans Shaw on <susan(a)nas.net> has some more Ash folks: There are some
very interesting happenings here, also.

25 Nov 1798 Thomas s/o William Ash of Ellardine Heath baptized
8 Mar 1801 Andrew - as above
2 Nov 1803 Richard - as above
[Thomas Ash & Martha Sambrook married. Wit. William Ash and Martha Owen] I
missed the date, but will retrieve it. There were no baptisms from this
marriage in High Ercall parish. I am wondering if this Martha Sambrook was
a further daughter of Samuel Sambrook of Obaston, considering that the
"first" Martha died. If so, the second Martha was not baptized at High
Ercall. It may well be that another child named Martha was born and
survived as the mother died in childbirth: viz: 20 Aug 1778 E--- w/o Samuel
Sambrooke of Obastan buried.
p626. 14 Jan 1772. Samuel Sambrook and Elizabeth Karr married. Witness
William Sambrook and F.S.
Further Sambrook details:
p608. 31 Mar 1811 William s/o William Sambrook of Walton, baptized
p608. 6 Apr 1811 Margaret d/o William Sambrook of Walton, buried
p611. 23 Oct 1812 William of William Sambrook of Cotwell Fields, buried
p619 25 Jul 1763 William Sambrook and Catharine Aaron married. Wit. Samuel
Sambrook and John Pagett
p690 15 Oct 1787 Samuel Sambrook and Mary Jones married. Wit. F.S. and
Thos. Sambrook
25 Mar 1819 William Sambrook (widr) and Ann Lawrence (wid) married. wit.
Francis Light (wonder if he was Sir. Francis Light of Penang, Malaya, and
Straits Settlements, fame??) Jane Dabbs, and John Paget.
That's all for now. Continuing High Ercall tomorrow.
