Shropshire Roots

In the 1881 census the Darlington surname in Shropshire was concentrated around Shrewsbury, Prees and Whitchurch, the north of the county where Joseph's family came from.

The Ightfield Darlingtons unconfirmed

Abraham and Elizabeth Ann Darlington of Church Farm, Ightfield, near Whitchurch, lost two sons in the First World War:

• Abraham Darlington, died 18.08.1917
• William Charles Darlington, died 04.11.1917

We have not established any link between this family and ours. They appear here because they lived close to Whitchurch. They could be relatives, but this is not confirmed.
