Shropshire memories
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

Does Anyone Remember my Grandmother, Mrs Lillian Florence May Adams or my Father Mr Meyrick Adams?
I am interested to find out if anyone can remember my grandmother Mrs Lillian Florence May Adams (nee Pearson) and my dear father Mr Meyrick Pearson Adams? My grandmother was born in Hereford and married and had my father and his younger brother Barry who lives at Colebatch in Shropshire. My grandfather's name I think was Alfred Adams, he worked with horses. One of my father's oldest friends was a retired blacksmith called Cliff, sadly he too has now passed away. I was born in Shifnal. My father sadly passed away in February 2008 and my mother Mary Adams passed away in October 2009, her name was Mary Adams. They are buried in the Sheriffhales church.
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.
E M Goliah
My Grandmother Mrs E M Goliah had a general stores on Broadway I believe it was sold circa 1956 due to ill health, I believe it was an Elizabethan style property, and was next door to Cheadles, the 'clock' shop. The property no longer exists due to 'redevelopment'
I Miss Shifnal And Have Very Happy Fond Memories.
I have just gone onto this site. I remember the Goliahs. It was when I was a little girl, Mr Goliah used to regularly visit my dad and I think at one stage he dropped off a load of cattle manure with a horse and cart for our garden. I can also remember the milkman in the early 1950s delivering milk with the horse and cart. What a memory. My name is Jane, my maiden name was 'Humphries'. My brother still lives there at Custer Castle in Shaw Lane. Dad, better known as 'Jack', used to run the bakery in Aston Street with a cake shop in Bradford Street. We lived over the shop (and a toy shop in the corner). My father worked for Lloyds the Grocers which was in Park Street (can't remember what the place is now but the building is still there). There was an abattoir behind the grocery shop and one of my earliest memories was of dad wheeling our bacon pig down from our... Read more
