"Another generous supporter of the Church was Mr. R. P.

MARRIAGE: On Thursday I received the marriage certificate form Christiana Walley and Thomas Henshall Ward (Ref GRO Dec 1871 6a 1420, Oswestry, Shropshire). It contains the following information:
Marriage date : 21 November 1871
Place : Frankton Independent Chapel, district of Oswestry, according to Rites and Ceremonies of Congregationalists
Minister : E D Wilks, Baptist Minister
Thomas Henshall Ward - 25 years, Bachelor, Farmer, residing at Sidway Hall near Market Drayton. Father was Thomas Ward, deceased, a Farmer
Christiana Walley - 20 years, Spinster, residing at Frankton in the parish of Whittington. Father was Stephen Walley, deceased, a Farmer.
Witnesses were George Ward and Mary Pedley Walley
Registrar - D C DaviesTH was a Farmer. He began farming on his own account at Hassall, Cheshire, in 1867, when he was barely 21. Two years later he took over Sidway Hall Farm, near to Ashley. In 1876 he took over the tenancy of Ellerton Grove, Shropshire, and later that of Ellerton Grange.
In 1895, while still the tenant of 5 large farms, he moved to Lubstree Park, between Wellington and Newport. Lubstree Park was situated on the Duke of Sutherland's land. When in 1912 the Duke put all his land around Lillieshall up for sale (with the exception of the Lillieshall monument) TH bought it. The land included not only the farm at Lubstree but several other farms and large houses - Sidney House and Kinnersley.
A Pioneer in the use of artificial manures and concentrated feeding-stuffs, TH was one of the most enterprising and successful farmers of his generation, and his reputation as a feeder of fat stock was high all over the Midlands6.
Both TH and Christiana were members of the Congregational Church. TH remarried a few years after Christiana’s death.
The cause of death as certified by Dr J McC McCarthy is recorded as diabetes over 18 years, Cardiac disease (mitral) 7 years and Coma 4 days. The death was registered by TH's daughter, Marie Minshall. TH is buried in Market Drayton Cemetery.
Had four children
Lawrence was the third brother of his generation to farm in Shropshire. He farmed at Golding, Shropshire. At one point he was also a member of the Atcham Rural District Council.6 He met his wife in Australia while on a world tour.
She returned to Australia with her children after her husband’s death
Lived in Bournemouth (source: copy of family tree from Gary Hnatowich,received August, 1998)
"Stephen Cawley Walley 1856-1936 wrote his memoirs in 1926 and was a Vicar in the Church of England serving from 1912 at Hardingham in Norfolk, where he and his wife Mercy Mary nee Densem are buried" (source: Rev. Phillip Cook, in a letter to David Walley dated 11 Sept.1998)
Vicar of St Peter's Warmfield from 1889 to 1912 or possibly 1911 as his successor dates from 1912. I am sure that various records kept in the Diocesan Archives by the West Yorkshire Archive Service will confirm this. They hold three Service Registers from 1888 - 1912 which cover the period as well as various minutes and memoranda. The Diocesan Archivist is Mrs Ruth Harris Tel: 01924 305992/ 30590, Fax: 305983,
