I am seeking the baptism, in Shropshire probably, of Joseph Shakespeare who married Ann Corbet at St Alkmund Shrewsbury in 1788 and had a daughter, Rosanna, baptised there in 1803. Has anyone any info?

Hello Chris

I can't see the marriage you mention but there is a marriage between Joseph SHAKESPEARE and Mary CORBET (not Ann) on 7th Dec 1788 at St Alkmund's, Shrewsbury.

The baptism is recorded as Rosanah daughter of Joseph & Mary SHAKSPIERE. (Don't worry about the spelling) She was born 28 Jan 1803 and baptised 28 Nov 1803. Again the mother is recorded as Mary not Ann.
