Person:William Reeves (8)

!Christening information from extracted record from parish. IGI. !Marriage information verified: found on parish records of Ruyton-of-the-Eleven

Towns.

!Occupation: Butcher (information per archive record in SLC) !NOTE ON CHILDREN'S BIRTHPLACE:

Nov 1993-July 1994 tried to verify place of birth for children of William &
Sarah.  Skeptical as to whether our Wm. Reeves belonged to this family.  Not
able to find all children on the microfilm of parish records.  Found child #1
William Reeves (1797, who is an older brother to our William that probably died
in infancy -- It was a common practice in England to name another baby after
the one who had passed away) on Ruyton, Shropshire film.  Also found children
#9 and #10, Benjamin and Mary (twins).  Was not able to find any other children
on the film.  Microfilm unreadable in some places. Obtained archive record for
this family from SLC.  Two records on file-- one with Albrighton and another
with Ruyton as birthplace.  Wrote letters to submitter of information (Evadean
Francisco of Tropic, UT) but no response, perhaps she has passed away.  I have
concluded through my research and correspondence that our William Reeves (1801)
does belong to this family. (Note by Kimber Norton Blatter)
