William Stevenson 28 Not Known

Francis Head 57 Not Known, Shropshire,

This one found by Peter is probably the one you are looking for, obviously Widowed and living with his daughter.

Linell.

This must be the Marriage of Francis and Ann Tranter:-

FRANCIS HEAD Male

Marriages:
Spouse: ANN TRANTER Family
Marriage: 09 OCT 1820 Claverley, Shropshire, England

Linell.

thanks linell

it is a possibility, i will have to try and find out when his wife ann died

regards

chris

that is them, but have learned that ann was a widow and would like to find her maiden name

regards

chris

Hi Chris, don't take any notice on the spellings of names, they are all spelt incorrectly, depending on who was writing them down at the time and who transcribed them. Francis in Brewood Staffs is an Ag Lab, the one in Claverley Shropshire is a Male Servant, but Francis Snr is living in Shropshire in 1851, with Daughter Ann who was born Claverley. Can't find him in 1841? Linell.

thanks for that linell

That won't be so easy, you really need to find a Tranter child, and trace their baptism back.

Will see if I can find any living near the Head family.

Linell.

thank you, i appreciate your help

Hi Chris there are no Tranters that I can find in Claverley 1841. I would search the Parish Register for the burial of a Mr Tranter between about 1815 and 1820. HTH from Linell.

hi linnel

this may sound like a stupid question but where do i search the parish records

chris

Hi Chris, sorry I don't have any for Shropshire, think that Peter and Mark do, they maybe able to search for you. Or you can buy on line, here is one link:- http://www.dg.petch.btinternet.co.uk/En ... isters.htm

I've bought some from Booksellers on line. Or you can write to Shropshire Archives at Shewsbury, they will search for you but they do charge. Good luck from Linell.
