I'm researching my family tree am back to my 7th G Grandfather Roger SADLER who was baptised 19 Sep 1687 at Ellesmere Shropshire, son of Roger SADLER, there were 6 other children bap to the elder Roger between 1682 and 1697. Also in Ellesmere between 1667 and 1681 five children were baptised to a Henry SADLER and his wife Mary. I'm thinking it's possible the elder Roger and Henry were brothers but I can't find a baptism, mar, or will for either of them
thanks

Hello Linda
The earliest surviving Ellesmere parish register starts in 1654. You can see a list of the available registers by going to the Shropshire Archives web site. Scroll down the page until you find Parish Registers List (pdf - 785kb) and click on that to open the parish list.
There are some Bishop's Transcripts (BTs) at Lichfield Record Office which commence in 1630. These are probably on Family Search but I haven't checked that.
