the parish church of SAINT CHAD's at PREES, Shropshire where a ROWLAND PACE was registered as father in Christenings.
ROWLAND PACE was not the only PACE father in Christenings at ST. CHAD's in the first two decades of the 1600's.
I found further
evidence RICHARD and THOMAS MAY HAVE come from WESTBURY on SEVERN, GLOUCESTERSHIRE where I found the following Christenings in the parish register:
JOHN PACE father
- THOMAS PACE
Chr: 08 MAR 1578
WESTBURY On Severn, GLS
Father: JOHN PACE
Batch Number: C032752
- RICHARD PACE
Chr: 04 MAY 1581

MORE at Gloucestershire PACE Records page
The year 1600 was the earliest Christening at PREES JONE PACE Chr 1600 father RD. PACE next one was ROBERT PACE Chr 1606 father RICHARD I'll assume the RD in JONE's Christening is RICHARD also
at Westbury-on-Severn, Gloucestershire
THOMAS, RICHARD, and JOANE were in a PACE family, father JOHN PACE
sister JOANE died at about four months of age
about 18 years later at Prees, Shropshire a JOAN is Christened in family of RICHARD PACE a THOMAS PACE also shows as father in Christenings about the same time
RICHARD & THOMAS may have migrated to PREES from WESTBURY on SEVERN GLOUCESTERSHIRE. I've wondered if RD., RICHARD and ROWLAND were the same person - spelling variations of given names were evident. Since relatively few PACE entrys were found after searching records of several surrounding parishes, permit me to take the liberty and arrange the entrys into respective families, as to father's name and date of Christening. This may not be absolute but for the most part, practical.
Distance between towns where Paces were found was a matter of walking distance. WELLINGTON today is on the north west perimiter of the town of TELFORD and HIGH ERCALL about 2 miles north west of WELLINGTON and WROCKWARDINE less than 2 miles west of WELLINGTON.
On the south side of TELFORD at Coalbrookdale is the world famous, IRON BRIDGE in the SEVERN River Gorge constructed by DARBY in 1779

The Christenings below are arranged by date and father's given name, appear in parish registers where PACE families resided in Shropshire at PREES-1618, HIGH ERCALL-1653, RODINGTON-1655, WROCKWARDINE-1665, PREES-1670, NORBURY Staffordshire-1693 - Likely the same PACE family people
The father's name varies from parish to parish but is similar between the 1618 Christening and 1653 marriage
JOSUAH PACE-1618 Christening at PREES
JOSHUAH PACE Marriage 04 MAR 1653 MARGARETTE PALLMER HIGH ERCALL
JOSEH PACE-1655 Christening of ANNE 32 months later in adjacent parish of RODINGTON
ANNE PACE
- Chr 02 NOV 1655
RODINGTON, Shropshire
- Father: JOSEH PACE
RODINGTON is adjacent to HIGH ERCALL parish, merely about 1.5 or 2 miles and the Christening of ANNE was 32 months after the marriage.
10 years later
MARGARET's name is mentioned in 1665 Christening of JOHN and the father's name is clearly JOSEPH at WROCKWARDINE
JOSEPH PACE-1665 & MARGARET 1665 Christening of JOHN at WROCKWARDINE mother's name MARGARET
JOSEPH PACE 1670 Christening of GEORGE at PREES - mother's name not included in Christening record at PREES but notice 1694 GEORGE's first child named MARGARET Christening at NORBURY, Staffordshire

With little evidence to go on, the inclusion of the mother's name MARGARET seems to tie facts together and later GEORGE Christening without mother's name but in 1694 GEORGE's 1st child is named MARGARET.

JOHN PACE

No record of this marriage found. First Christening with this JOHN PACE as father appears in 1675. Review all the PACE Christenings of mid 1600's. This JOHN PACE was probably born about 20 years prior to this 1675 Christening. That leaves two JOHN PACE to consider.

GEORGE and ELIZABETH moved south - about 10 miles to SHARESHILL parish around the 1720's. Shareshill parish includes LANEY GREEN, LITTLE and GREATER SAREDON, (Saredon Magna) and CHESLYN HAY.
GEORGE PACE Chr. 1708 - probably joined his father GEORGE and step mother ELIZABETH to SHARESHILL. There are two death records of GEORGE PACES in SHARESHILL parish registers, one in 1738, the other in 1744.
The following SHARESHILL parish records indicate the presence of two GEORGE PACES
