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.

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.
