Looking for a William brown , on the 1901 census it says he was born cross green Shropshire about 1861' I have in the past asked this question but it was quite a few yrs ago thought it may be worth giving it another try . Thanks saidy
Hello Saidy
Continuing the last point in the reply above, we have:-
Cross Green, Allscott, Wrockwardine
Cross Green, Berwick, Shrewsbury - Note that this is now spelt Crossgreen (without a space) on the modern Ordnance Survey map
Cross Green, Ellerton Wood, Cheswardine
Do you have any information, through the family or from other census, which would establish which of these three places your relative came from? You need this before you have any hope of finding a Birth / Baptism for someone with such a common name.
Can you find any brothers or sisters of William, perhaps with a more unusual forename, that might be easier to track down?
Mike

Hi Saidy, I have had a quick look and cannot see your William Brown, as I would like to see if I can help. Can you say where he was living in 1901 and possibly who was living with him, to pinpoint the correct WB?
There are at least 3 Cross Greens in Shropshire.
