I am interested in the family of William Gregory (bap. 31-3-1745. St. Leonard) , shoemaker of Bridgnorth. My link is through his marriage to Hannah Bebb (1798, St. Leonard) and their son Benjamin (bap. 30-12-1798 St. Leonard). Unfortunately I am only able to access online information as a trip to Shropshire is too much for a day trip. I suspect that William may have been married before, but I have no evidence.Is there anyone who has access to the parish records who could give me the date for William's marriage to Hannah (Pallot's index only gives the year) and/or could find an earlier marriage and subsequent death of this wife. I would be very, very grateful for any help which anyone could give. Ginny
