I believe I have found an ancestor on Find My Past, Thomas Skytt married Ann Lowe at the Parish Church Forton Staffordshire 29th Sptember 1655, could Thomas have come from Willaston Prees?. I have a Thomas Skitt birth abt 1631 of Willaston Prees on my family history, thank you for any help.
Hello Ruth
I have read the original parish register of Banns as follows (line breaks are as in the original):-
Thomas SKYTT of Wollerton in the parish? of Hodnet? in the
County of Salop, and Anne LOWE the daughter of William
LOWE of this parish, were published for their intended
marriage three __________ Lords days in the parish church
of Forton (Viz) September ____ 7th ____ 14th ______ & ____ 21st
And were married _____ _________: Days?
Whilst some Hodnet Banns are on Find my Past they only cover the years 1823-1843 and consulting the Shropshire Archives web site their parish register list says the earliest surviving Banns for Hodnet are from 1755 so it is not possible to cross check the entry you found.
Wollerton is about a mile NNE of Hodnet.

Hello Mike,
Thank you so much for your help, I was almost convinced he was the Thomas from Prees, I have to be 100% certain I have the right person before adding them to my tree.
Ruth.
