I have someone born High Escall, Shropshire and cannot find any information about where it is.

Have a possible link in a later census but with a different birthplace in Shropshire. Has anyone got any local knowledge.

Thanks

Melanie

Melanie,

Did you copy and paste that link?

This is what it says:

HIGH ERCALL, Shropshire
"HIGH ERCALL, (or Ercall Magna) a parish in the Wellington division of the hundred of South Bradford, county Salop, 6 miles N.W. of Wellington, its post town and railway station on the Shrewsbury and Birmingham line, and 8 N.E. of Shrewsbury. It is situated near the river Roden, and contains the hamlets and townships of Ellerdine, Cold Hatton, Cotwell Mooretown, Crudgington, Hough-ton, Isombridge, Osbaston, Poynton, Roden, Rowton, Tern, and Walton."
