Hi

My john williams was born in 1815 in shrewsbury, his father as far as i know was a gardener, john became a marble polisher, he married an eliza henshaw, family search tells me she was from hollybead hollyhead derby, this means nothing to me as i cant find a hollyhead in derby.
i cannot find a marriage for john and eliza, they had the first daughter mary baptised at st julian in shrewsbury, but then all the other children including mary were baptised at st phillips on 16 april 1849, why i have no idea. where the family moved to, they are on the 1841 census.
thanks for your help and knowledge
