My wifes Ancestor was Edward Dudley born 1741in Kenley he married Jane Rigbe 1766 in Barrow she died 1768 he moved to Sutton Maddock and married Hannah Smith,, His father appears to be William Dudlick from Kenley his mother Margaret Davies they married in Sheinton 1730.

Cannot find William Dudlick Baptism records on FMP possibly Kenley around 1700-1710

Interested in the change from Dudlick to Dudley

Thomas REECE - Gamekeeper

Researching REECE family history and my Great Grandfather is listed as a Gamekeeper on 1911 Census. He lived at Moat Cottage Stapleton. His son was also a gamekeeper Cecil (Cicil) George REECE. I also believe that the landowner he worked for was well known for breeding a rare breed of dog but don’t have any further details. Any information would be appreciated

Researching the BALCH / BELCH family

My family came to Shropshire sometime in the early 1700s from Somerset. My 7x great grandfather John BALCH was born in Frodesley in 1720. He then moved to the Alberbury / Ford / Cardeston area where his son James BALCH (1750-1809) had ten children, the eldest of which John BALCH (1774) had nine children including Hannah BALCH (1802), who had an illegitimate son Richard BALCH (1816-1886) who is my 3x great grandfather. His son William BELCH (1850-1912) ended up moving to Lanchashire after a spell in Rodington.


I have quite a lot of family history already including the various families that the generations married into, e.g. EVANS, CARSEWELL / CASEWELL, MAIDEN, PURSLOW, BASSETT. I have put as much of my ancestry as possible onto Familysearch


I'm obviously keen to hear from anyone with connections, but what I'd love to find out and I think it's a forlorn hope is identifying…
