Find Ancestors

Hi All, having problems finding any info on Donnervill Hall Admaston Wellington Shropshire, it is now flats.
It is now off the Wellington Road, would like to know about the people living at the Hall in the 1940s/1950s, when it was built & how many acres of land it had.
Many thanks.

Try google for info on the Hall

But for electoral rolls you would need the local main library for the area

Bear in mind no electoral rolls were taken during the WW2 period and just post it.
If you have a specific name you at looking for have you tried the new online 1939 register ?

Hello Ian, what research have you done yourself?

Quite a few results on google (using correct spelling), including:

http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-362425-donnerville-hall-wrockwardine-#.VjyATPnhDIU

Granted, doesn't give 1940/50 occupants.

11.25 acres according to this:

Of course other land may have previously been sold off.

Maybe this helps

Seems it was owned by English heritage and listed in 1983

There's a mention of a Miss Clay who lived there in 1937 and went to Scotland:
