Welcome today

In 2020 my beloved sweet wife of 51 years died from Covid-19 and so I have decided to increase this site hoping the work will keep me going now - work in progress . . .

Back in 2015 I was determined to devote time to my grandfather Robert Madeley - Shrewsbury Town butcher of 41 High Stree for over a decade - a WWI hero who died at the Somme in 1916. I was born 30 years after he died in France over 100 years ago.

This was my tribute to him and an attempt to know him by exploring his life and the places he lived and died. I started with a blank canvas but now I feel like I knew him. When you read his story - you may feel that way too.

NEW

I have 2500 people in the database - all related to Rees Price b. 1825 and John Madeley b.1784 including their ancestors.

In the 90s I researched the family on my mother's side Madeley and on my father's side Price and so now I am going to start listing those related people. I am starting first with Rees Price and later on I will move on to John Madeley.

Rees Price was married to Frances Edwards b. 1827 and they lived and worked Pen-y-cefn Farm in Halfway, Powys near Sennybridge. They had 9 children and my aim is that this year I will list all the descendants of those children and those of John Madeley.

The people in the registers of Rees Price and John Madeley are related in their particular tree but of course all are related to me.

For example Lorrain Castle in Florida is my second cousin twice removed and her children are second cousins thrice removed - and so to see all my relatives just go here. One of them may be related to you too.
