FULLUCKs in Madeley

I'm hunting for the birth of William George (or George) FULLUCK in ~1802 in Madeley. This information is from the 1851 census when he's in London. He moves to Birmingham where he marries, then on to London where he appears to remarry.


FindmyPast had the birth of a (potential) sibling Edmund in 1811 and death of 6 year old Thomas in 1811, both sons of Thomas and Ann Fulluck.


Can people advise whether the society holds additional parish records on this or other families that may not be on FmP? I'm happy to join the society (£10 is good value), if there records are there.


There is some variable spelling of the surname, it can be Fullock, Fullock, Fullox etc.


Thanks

Stuart

Hello Stuart


Have you considered the possibility that the surname has been misread at some point?


There is a William BULLOCK baptised at Madeley, Shropshire on 15 Sep 1805 so you might like to explore that possibility a bit further.


As an aside there were only 34 people with the surname FULLOCK in the 1881 census with 6 in Gloucestershire and the remainder in the south east of England.

Prince Rupert hotel, Shrewsbury employees 1960s.

Hi

I am looking for information regarding employees who worked in the Prince Rupert Hotel during the 1960s.

I am looking for a Spainish waitor who worked in this establishment during the summer of 1964. He may have been known as Pedro. He was around 20-30 years of age.

I look forward to jogging your memories.

Ros

Not living in Shropshire anymore getting to Bridgnorth on a Tuesday afternoon isn’t possible so I wondered if Dave Tonks (7302) has a contact? I am particularly interested in the High Street properties project….think a distant relative may have had a shop DARRALLS

Hi Kate,


You may recall that I responded to your DARRALL enquiry on the old message forum in 2022.

The shop that DARRALL had for a short while in Bridgnorth was in Whitburn Street, not the High Street.

Looking for help from Shifnal specialist

Hello — hoping a Shifnal specialist can point me in the right direction.


I'm trying to find the baptism of a John Rixon at Shifnal, roughly 1728–1745, and especially the names of his parents. I've hit a coverage gap: Findmypast's Shropshire Baptisms seem to start around 1739 for Shifnal, the Shropshire Parish Register Society never published Shifnal (so it's not on Mel Lockie or in the Internet Archive volumes), FreeREG doesn't cover the parish, and FamilySearch's Shifnal films begin in 1813. So the pre-1739 baptisms don't appear to be transcribed online anywhere I can find.


What I already know about this John, to identify the right one:

- He married Rebekah Hand at Shifnal on 7 June 1762 (by banns), a bachelor "of this parish."

- He was buried at Shifnal on 2 December 1787.

- He and Rebekah had children baptised at Shifnal from 1764 onward (John 1764, Thomas…
