However, we still own the house and - as both of us love it dearly - we have hopes of sympathetically renovating it at some time. We tried, many years ago, to find out its history, but with little success. But, I think, we now have a good starting point and will have another go. The original house is still intact, not very obvious from the outside, I know! But, if you are ever visiting the area or would like to come here anyway, you would be more than welcome to visit your ancestral seat. Nicola Ward.

RICHARD a son born 20 March baptised 26 March 1649 ANNE wife of THOMAS CULWICKE, burial recorded 20 May 1659 THOMAS CULWICKE burial 23 August 1661 Thus, THOMAS and ANNE seem to have left an only child, RICHARD, an orphan at the age of 12 in 1661 The strong inference is that RICHARD was apprenticed to a saddler, at this point. In the Burgess of Bridgnorth records, RICHARD was admitted 26 September 1670 as a "Burgess born, son of Thomas C of Bridgnorth, deceased, tailor" No mention is made of Richard's trade in Newport, but, because three of his sons became master saddlers, it seems likely he was also a saddler. RICHARD's parents have been proved to be THOMAS and ANN CULLWICK of BRIDGENORTH. This lineage starts with RICHARD CULLWICK son of THOMAS of Bridgnorth, and descends from him. THOMAS CULLWICK of Brigenorth d 1661 + ANN RICHARD CULLWICK m 1670/75 at NEWPORT Shropshire + ABIGAIL CRANMER - baptised 22 Feb 1652/53 at NEWPORT the daughter of THOMAS and FRANCES CRANMER A clandestine wedding. Family story is that he married his master's daughter whilst still an apprentice, a heinous crime in those days and was ex-communicated from the church. THOMAS JOHN m at QUATFORD 24 June 1634 died 1647 JOHN ELINOR + JOHN OULDBURIE - (Oldbury) of QUATFORD m 18 Nov 1632 dates indicate need for further research & correction RICHARD was a saddler at NEWPORT Shropshire and wed approx 1670/75 at NEWPORT. They were saddlers until well into this century, and Methodists from the earliest days of organised Methodism (about 1800). John Cullwick Hill House, Quatford Shropshire THOMAS, JOHN (yeoman, HILL HOUSE, Quatford) and ELINOR were brothers and sister - all children of RICHARD CULLWICK of GLAZELEY and probable grandchildren of STEPHEN and ELINOR of CLAVERLEY. It appears that ELINOR lived at HILL HOUSE, Quatford, with brother JOHN, as she married from that address on 18 Nov 1632. She married John OULDBURIE (OLDBURY) also of QUATFORD. JOHN CULLWICK married at Quatford 24 June 1634 and had a son JOHN in 1639 and died following an accident at Hill House 1647. His will is at the National Library of Wales at Aberystwyth and probate was granted in 1653 to his 14 year old son, JOHN CULLWICK THOMAS married ANNE and there are three entries on the Bridgnorth registers. Firstly, a son RICHARD born 20 March, baptised 26 March 1649; secondly, the burial of ANNE, wife of THOMAS CULWICKE, recorded 20 May 1659; Thirdly, the burial of THOMAS CULWICKE 23 August 1661. Thus, THOMAS and ANNE seem to have left an only child, RICHARD, an orphan at the age of 12. The strong inference is that RICHARD was apprenticed to a saddler, at this point. In the Burgess of Bridgnorth records, RICHARD was admitted 26 September 1670 as a "Burgess born, son of Thomas C of Bridgnorth, deceased, tailor" No mention is made of Richard's trade in Newport, but, because three of his sons became master saddlers, it seems likely he was also a saddler.

Benjamin CULWICK - son of William Cullwick & Susannah Fox

5 BENJAMIN CULWICK 1783-1851 - bt 2 Dec 1783 SHIFNALL - C048862
- a saddler in CLIVE, obviously moving to SHIFNAL later in life, buried 11 Jan 1851 SHIFNAL

William became a Burgess (Parliamentary voter) in January 1835. he had to be 21, have birthright and assets to vote - therefore birth in 1814 or before. However, elder brother Benjamin (who was baptised in 1811 and we assume was born in Clive that year) was elected a Burgess in August 1830. This Benjamin (b1811) was a retired saddler, aged 59, living in Claines near Worcester in the 1871 census - so that more or less confirms he was only 18 or 19 when he got the vote in 1830.
