Pant, Kynaston's Bridge 1936 (ref: P279006)
Greenfields
A memory of Pant, Shropshire

The house on the right hand side of the picture, Greenfields, is my family home. When my father laid a new oak block floor in the hall, we put a 'time capsule' in the form of a box under the new floor. It contained such articles as photographs of the family, coins and other such things of the era. He reckoned the floor would not need replacing for 100 years and so the next generation of occupants would find it when that happened.

Oswestry, Leg Street c1960 (ref: O63097)
Year: 1960 SAD!
A memory of Oswestry, Shropshire

My aunt Dylis used to have a fruit and veg shop on this street and I can remember going with my gran to the shop and helping to make wreathes for funerals.
My gran used to live in Beatrice Street, opposite the train station. I seem to remember that the access to this was via a footbridge on which I used to stand to wait for the steam trains to pass underneath. At the back of the station was the beginning of a walk which I used to do with my father. It took you to a place called Shell Bank where the land had slid away revealing a layer of shells from thousands of years ago. None of these remain anymore, how sad!

and died in 1883, Emma had a son, Thomas Leonard Smith, and he was brought up as one of the children and became a butler in North Wales and died in 1915, he left a widow and 2 daughters but never knew Emma was his mother. His only grandson was killed during the 2nd World War and I was the only granddaughter, but I have 4 children, 10 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. I found a request for the children of John and Marianne Smith of Tedsmore Bank, they were Mary Anne, Emma, Louisa, Rebekah, William and Edward. Their father was a butcher.

  Year: 1860s Titleys
A memory of Huntworth, Somerset

I am looking for my ancesters. They lived in Bausley through the 1800s. Their names are John Titley and Jane Briggs. Is there anyone that might help me fill in any missing details. Here are the details from the 1861 census:

Address: Bauseley Hill, Bauseley, Montgomeryshire, Wales
Head of household: Richard Titley, 50, labourer, born Bauseley, Montgomeryshire
Wife: Elizabeth Titley, 37, born Bauseley, Montgomeryshire
Son: Thomas Titley, 13, labourer, 8, born Bauseley, Montgomeryshire
Son: Richard Titley, born Bauseley, Montgomeryshire
Son: John Titley, 6, born Bauseley, Montgomeryshire
Daughter: Elizabeth Titley, 3, born Bauseley, Montgomeryshire
Son: David Titley, 12 months, born Bauseley, Montgomeryshire

This information has led me to Richard Titley’s baptism on 15 Dec 1811 at Alberbury, parents John and Jane Titley. And from that I have found the marriage of John Titley and Jane Briggs on 28 Jun 1805 at Alberbury, which fits in with the birth of their first child (Mary) in 1807. Unfortunately I can’t trace the line back any further than that as the parish records don’t seem to be online that far back. My guess would be that both John and Jane were born somewhere around 1780 in or near the parish of Alberbury.
Thank you.
