Shosbree Locations

Where do the Shrosbrees come from ? Or where can they be found ? This is an interesting question because as we have seen from the origin of the name it is locative in that it tells us where the Shrosbree came from , but of course it would normally be a surname given to some body from Shrewsbury who was now living away from that location . So far the earliest Surname I have found is for Johanne Shrousburye who was a blacksmith living in Middlesex in the area called Norton Foregate. He is named in a Will dated 1406 . also named is his son Thomas Filio . A later Will is also for a Johanne Shrouseburye in Holborn dated 1461 . this could be a grandson.and there they stayed in Middlesex for over 500 years . We can plot the families movement around the county although in reality that means around a very small area of the east end Of London. of course some did move away, but not in enough numbers to affect the overall pattern.
There is a John Shrowesburye in Buckingham 1543, a Shrowsbury in Uxbridge. Middx 1553 and a Shrowsberie in Nonington.Kent 1560 and again in Holborn a Shrosberry 1585 .
The name variant Shrowsridge appears around 1595 in St Botophs Parish. Middx and lasts up to 1693 although around 1663 it also appears as Shrowesbridge coincidental to a branch appearing in St Dunstans Parish , where it survived until 1824 .
The name also occurs as Shrowsbery,Shrowsberry,Shrowbury in St Botolphs from 1665 through to 1821.
The variant Shrosebberry is found in Holborn Middx from 1585 to 1683 the name then appears to change to Shrousbury around 1689 in Westminster [Stepping St Dunstan] where it survies to 1776. We also have a Shosbry in 1748 t St Barthomews and the first Shrosbree Appears in 1749 in a marriage at St Georges ,Mayfair. [but was probably born around 1728] and from 1772 they are found in Findsbury. Middx through to 1869. From 1823 they appear in Shoreditch.. It is from around this date that the clan begins to expand , but they only move as far as the next parish, or remain in situ as the parish boundaries expand and contract about them [ see a later article]
Some venture as far afield as the next district but even then they are within the the Greater London Area of Middlesex. We do have some 'Outliers' , but it is interesting to note that these were destined to migrate further afield . One to Scotland and later 'en famile ' to south Africa One went to Birmingham. and eventually he and nearlyall his offspring went to America . some went to Australia . some others went away and came back [more later]
There are of course several small pockets of the Shrosbree varaint in other places but not in sufficient No's to affect the fact that The Shrosies are predominately a Middlesex Family.
