Subject: POINER or MASEFIELD of Beckbury


Hi All, especially Viv and J.P. ☺️ based on your comments last November.


1) I'm wondering if any of the POYNER families mentioned in November link back to the Poiners who appear in Beckbury parish registers specifically William Poiner bap. 1795 to Mary Poiner, no father given. There are other baptisms 20 years earlier to parents William and Elizabeth Poiner but not for a Mary (so far). I believe that the 1795 William is the one who is listed as a farmer and butcher residing in Beckbury in 1841 and 1851 censuses.


2) Another family appearing in Beckbury registers are the MASEFIELDs and variants. William Masefield and Abigail Hickman appear in late 1600s. I think their son William b. 1685 ended up in The Buttery, Edgmond. Is anyone researching this family?


Thank you

Maree

Trevor Family

Hi I have just discovered this site and am a descendant of the Trevor's who all lived in the area. Just curious for my father really, if there are still Trevor's living in the area.

Hello Belinda


I used to use the telephone directory and later the phone book on the Internet to get numbers of people but the most recent Phone Book I have was the 2019/2020 issue for Shropshire. Looking in that book there were just 10 people with the surname TREVOR scattered across Shropshire.

Thomas Hallmark

Im looking to find any informationfor a Thomas Hallmark and Margaret Walker who married in Shawbury in 1803. I don't think either of them were local as I have the rest of the family in Cheshire & Margaret looks like she was born in Little Over, Cheshire (1778).

I cannot find any copy of the original parish register so any information would be gratefully received.

Hello Lynn

You can view the original parish register on the Find my Past (subscription) web site. If you don't have a subscription it should be freely available at your local library or archive.

Note that the page shows the Banns followed by the actual Marriage.
