Shrewsbury Archives

Recently I went to Shrewsbury Archives searching Parish Records for Childs Ercall and Tibbington, Shropshire for my ancestors - Addison family.

Shrewsbury Castle

I looked around the town, at the Castle picture above and the  river.
Found my Gt Gt grandfather William Addison's Baptism at Childs Ercall and his sister and Brother at Tibberton.  Found the marriage of William's parents at Child's Ercall also James Addison and Jane Cheshire on May 1st 1850  2 months before William's Baptism on 1July 1850.  James gave his father as not known but I have found a possible Baptism in 1825 at Tibberton.

This was my first visit to Shrewsbury and the archives.  They were very welcoming and helpful.
