On 1881 Census a relative has given place of birth as Mossy Green, Shropshire. It's not on todays maps and the gazeteer site doesn't recognize it. Does anyone out there know where it is/was or what it should have been? Most of my 'family' were from Dawley/Wellington so I suspect it will be that area.

If you do what I did and used Google to search for it you'll find a reference to a mine called Mossy Green Graham

Perhaps it's Marsh Green which is near Wellington. Crista

Thanks for the help everyone! I think Graham may have solved it with the Mossy Green Mine which was in Dawley.
