Just received the birth cert for my GGGrandmother Ann Rogers.
She was born in Whixhall in 1843, father William a labourer and mother Susanna nee Dale.
There is a marriage in 1839 in the Wem district of Shropshire of Susannah Dale and a William Rogers is also on the same page so that seems to be the right one. I shall be ordering this one.
I've been trying to go back a little further today to find out more about Susanna Dale.
From the 1841 she is said to be 27, living with hubby William and son Maurice? aged 2 months and born in the county of Shropshire
I have looked for a baptism for her c 1814 and giving a range of 10 years.
There is only one coming up...Susan Dale baptised in Berrington Shropshire in 1813, mother Mary, no father on record.
I checked to see if there were any other Dale baptisms in Berrington with Mary as a mother and two more are listed, William in 1820 and Anne in 1823. Again no Father mentioned.
I know that the workhouse was based in Berrington which seems to be where Susanna was born, but was it likely for someone to have three children in there over a 10 year span?
I've never researched this area before so I'm pretty clueless on it
