George Bennett born 1851 in Clun Shropshire - parents Richard & Ann. Any info about Ann or Richard (born c1803 Wentnor Shropshire) would be good. Place of their marriage could help with research.

Thanks. That could be relevant especially as I have a possible birthplace of Montgomery c 1813 acc to 1851 census. That is assuming I have the right Richard & Ann.
