I am researching the following Dodwell family from the Shrewsbury area:
William Dodwell (b. 1820, d. 1877), married in 1842 to Jemima Wilde (b. 1823)
Children: Emily (b. 1843), Harriette (b. 1845), Mary Jane (b. 1848), George (b. 1850), Charlotte (b. 1852), Agnes (b. 1856), Frederick (b. 1860), Alfred (b. 1863) & Henry (b. 1864).

William was a plumber by trade; his eldest son George later took over the business, which by the late 1880's - 1890's had become a large heating engineering company, located at St. Julian Friars & Beeches Lane in Shrewsbury. Frederick (my g-grandfather) came to America in 1884, settling in Poplar Bluff, Mo., marrying Etta Turner. Agnes marries a Charles Boore, and for a number of years resided at 3 Granville Place, Copthorne Road, Shrewsbury. Also, I believe that William's parents were John & Elizabeth Dodwell of Shrewsbury.

The family was affiliated (at various times) with the following parishes: St. Mary's, St. Alkmund's, St. Julian's, St. Chad's.

If any of this rings a bell, please contact me. I have lots more info and some photos, and would like to glean much more info from someone with family knowlege, or knowlege of the Dodwell business.

Thanks. Randy
