William Addison

My ancestor William Addison was born in Shropshire in 1851 and baptised at childs Ercall.   I had problems finding his birth record in GRO records.  His parents marriage was registered at Market Drayton shortly before his birth.  The baptism was on family search on the IGI.  Which is how I found it.
