Sandra IGI is on Familysearch.org it is a free site and good to look up on before the 1837 indexes. They have submitted records on there too and these are not always correct. If you find one that is Extracted they are usually true.

I've just tried the above without any luck, I am a beginner so stay with me, who are the others?

I did sort of wonder about Carter as Sarah's maiden name.

No idea why you can't see them on FMPast. That's where the info I gave you came from!

http://www.familysearch.org/ENG/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

Put William Worrall and Sarah as Father and mother's names. Set the region,country,county so it's Shropshire. Search and look at the results for the ones in St Chad. (There are a few more,actually).
I noticed that there are quite a few early births in Shrewsbury for "male" and "female" Worralls on FreeBMD which might match.

Good luck!

This looks promising - thank you - any more info would be helpful
I have looked on 'find my past' for the census returns for 1851 and cannot find them - how can I find out when William John & William Carter were born and died? do you think Carter could have been Sarah's maiden name?

Just guessing here:
IGI
JESSY CARTER WORRALL
Pedigree
Female

Event(s):
Birth:
26 APR 1841
Christening:
12 AUG 1841 Saint Chad, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England
Death:
28 FEB 1842
Father: WILLIAM WORRALL
Mother: SARAH
The 1841 census was taken June 7,so the age would be about right.
There seems to be 2 other children born to William and Sarah-a William John and a William Carter who have died.

I'm not terribly "good at Shropshire". Anyone else have more experience?

Sandra Report 22 Apr 2010 17:35

Yes these are them, obviously surname spelt wrongly so it looks as though William died young; in the 1841 census it says George age 2 and a baby 1 month - where is it in 1851?
I am so sorry I have been called out, I will be out for appprox 3 hours (I hope) I do apologise but I have to go when needed, but I will log on later this evening, please continue to help me.

I am home now. look forward to hearing from you
