Davis/ Edge family search

Hi, I am new to the site and am trying to find members of the Edge family who may be related to William Thomas Edge b: Jan 1946 and Barbara Joy Edge (nee Davis) who married in 1966 at the Methodist church on Hadley Park Road, Wellington. Additionally, any members of the Davis family who may be related to Edward O. Davis b: 5/5/1907 who married Kathleen A. Davis b: 20/04/1908 (nee Weaver) in Apr 1931.

I would be very grateful for any help with my family tree. Thanks in advance.

Samuel MARSHALL of Whitchurch

I am researching Samuel MARSHALL, who married Anne GREGORY in Whitchurch on 26 August 1784. They had at least one son, Samuel Gregory MARSHALL, christened in Whitchurch on 1 February 1786.


Samuel's father was Capt. William MARSHALL (1748-1812) of the 63rd and later 84th Regiment of Foot. I have been trying to track down the name of William's first wife, who is Samuel's mother. After she died William married Elizabeth GREGORY in Whitchurch on 29 April 1790. Elizabeth may have been related to William's daughter-in-law.


Church of England records indicate that William was buried in Whitchurch on 27 May 1812.


As well as Samuel's mother's name, I am hoping to find his birth or christening record. A potential difficulty is that Samuel may have been born elsewhere and moved to Whitchurch to marry Anne. (The GREGORYs were a Whitchurch family.)


I have also been unable to find death records for…

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.
