Different sources say Oldfield was born in Shrewsbury, Condover [1] 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." [2] Charles Matthews ( talk) 03:55, 25 February 2022 (UTC) reply
