The Shropshire (Salop) Blayneys (and beyond)
Go to:
Blainey and Blayney have been Shropshire surnames for over three centuries [667]
 Churchstoke "on the border" |
ChurchStoke
Less than 20km East of Newtown (and only 7km SE of Montgomery) is the small Mercian village of Churchstoke, while technically still in Wales (Powys), the parish is partly in the Hundred of Cawrse (Montgomery) and partly in thte Hundred of Chirbury (Salop). Is is right beside Offa's Dyke.
Because the border does a loop, Churchstoke is actually East of a section of Shropshire!

Mainstone
As noted by S. P. Thomas, S. P. [208], a number of Blayneys seemed to migrate from Montgomeryshire into Shropshire during the 17th & 18th centuries. The ancestors of Professor Blainey were in Mainstone, Shropshire in the mid 1700s through to at least 1837, but some moved south to Llanfair Waterdine and Knighton then well east to Chelmarsh on the banks of the Severn by the 1830s
Lydbury North
Not 8km east of Mainstone, one finds Lydbury North where some Blayneys are buried [208]. [628] [629] [630]
Thomas Blayney (1785-1830), the renown Welsh harpist "kept a public-house at Lydney North (sic), near Walcot, the Shropshire seat of Lord Powis". Interestingly, This Thomas was born as the 3rd son of Arthur Blayney, publican of Llanllwchaiarn. It is very possible that the inkeeper Thomas Blayney (below) was his close relative as his son was also born in Llanllwychairn.
