Talk:Josiah Oldfield

Place of birth
Different sources say Oldfield was born in Shrewsbury, Condover and Ryton, Shropshire. For the last, if Great Ryton alias Ryton is meant, then these places are in a cluster.

There is clear support for that in a 1943 obituary of Oldfield's sister Mary Ellen. "Her father, with whom she lived and who was blind, played the organ at Condover, a neighbouring village, for 40 years." Charles Matthews (talk) 03:55, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Further data point from the Rev. William John Oldfield, Josiah's brother: address of his father David is given as Little Moor House, Ryton, Dorrington which would be Dorrington, Shropshire in the same cluster. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:56, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
