Hi, I have been searching information for John Langford Born abt 1803 so far I have quite a it of info but 2 baptisms I have found & am not sure if the bear any releavance to our Langford family. How do I add the images that I have found.
To recap on The Langford Family....John Langford Born about 1803 says he has a father John this info is from his marriage to Rebecca Watters in 1841. All census show them at The Nags Head Pub which he was a Publican uptill death in 1875. Newspaper article show John handing in his Publicans Licence in 1866. I have checked as much info as I can to prove he is our family.
So if I am able to send some Baptisms that I have found could someone help me clarify they are connected to our family. Further info John was a widow prior to his marriage to Rebecca, his first wife being Jane Lloyd in June 1837.
I am unable to find anything on Jane.
Hope that I have sent enough info, Regards Ann Langford.
Hi John, Just wondering can you suggest the best places to use for my research. I have access to the Mormans Church but not all films have been digitised. What should I do next?
Your help is much appreciated, Ann.
Hi Ann, All I can say is that most of the baptism & marriage images for Shropshire are available on the FMP website.
Best Regards
J.P
