My late in-laws lived there for over 30 years. Lovely Shropshire village. They didn't originate from Shropshire though.

There is an active Facebook group

And a long time member of this forum, Prof. Dennis Wood, had many relatives there.

His Ancestry Tree is called The Wood family of Alveley and Brown family of Biddulph

Just realised you would know all about theFacebook Page since you run it. DUH!!!!

There are some lovely photos on the Facebook page, just had a quick look, and found one of my late Mother-in-law,( also Margaret Thompson) with Alveley W.I. in 1992.

Yes..the facebook page ( started quite by accident when morning when I was a bored !) is going from strength to strength...everyone is most welcome to take a look
