Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 92 Send Message	Various members helped me to find my ancestor, James Fletcher who was born in 1781and lived in Wenlock, Shropshire. I've found him in the 1841 census but he isn't in the 1851 census, but I can't find his death in between those two dates. Can anyone help me please? Also I would like to know what happened to his wife, Ann who was either born in 1783 or 1786 as Ann Cartwright.
