Hubble/Hubbal
Does anyone know of Flatt Lodge in Edgmond as quoted from the 1871 Census with Hubbal's living there? I am unable to find it on any map.
Bullocks Row
Does anyone know of a place in Edgmond called Bullocks Row? My great grandmother Ada Charlotte Fox was living there in 1881 but I have been unable to find this address on any map. Any information or photos of this place would be greatly appreciated. Maybe someone even knows the family? She was the daughter of Thomas Fox and Charlotte Lea
Shropshire memories
John Weaver Lilleshall Sculptor
John Weaver is shown as being a stonemason on the 1827 Lilleshall baptism certificate of his son Alfred Weaver.
A family anecdote says that John Weaver took commissions for monumental sculptures and that after a statue of a horse and rider was unveiled it was noticed that he had omitted the girth straps for the saddle. This caused considerable ridicule from others and eventually depressed him so much that he took his own life by shooting himself.
I have long wondered if somewhere in or near Lilleshall there is such a statue?

Statue Not Sighted
I had a message late Sept 2006 from Lilleshall resident of 60 years Anthony Ardis saying he was unaware of the statue. I replied to you Athnony but the Frith system did not want to accept it. People are welcome to email me direct at pweaver@westnet.com.au Kind regards, Paul.

Miss Lees
1975-PRESENT
I was so sad to hear about Miss Lees Dying, she has such a special place in my heart and memories. I moved to Hinstock in 1972 with my parents. My family are from Hinstock, the Harris family from Mill Green. I now live in Whitchurch.
Growing up I have special memories of Miss Lees, she taught us to have faith, she taught me to ride, she taught me about nature and to nurture it.
I loved the rides around the fields on the trailer of her tractor, oh what fun we used to have. She opened up her house and her land to all the children of Hinstock from all walks of life. Miss Lees had 2 dogs Fred and Bonzo, we loved those funny looking little cross breeds that she rescued.
We used to muck out the horses every day, we looked for birds nests and used to pick her yummy strawberries.
Miss Lees used to take us Carol singing every year around the village. Christmas,s... Read more
The Lovekins And Crombs
My mother's family came from Sheriff Hales and Tong. I am looking for any information about the Lovekins who lived at Crackley Bank during the 19th and beginning of the 20th Century. Particularly John and Alice Lovekin.
Also the Crombs who lived in Tong Norton at the same time.
Many thanks
Jenny Stroud
