Pwllheli baptism/birth: Robert OWEN
« on: Wednesday 09 April 08 22:16 UTC (UK) »

I am trying to trace Robert Owen born abt 1829 in Pwllheli but I have not had any luck so far except later census returns when he was living in England with his wife, Elizabeth Ellis (abt 1826, Ruthin).  Their first child was born in 1853 in England.  If anyone has details of birth, baptism, parents etc. I would be most grateful.

Many thanks,
Alan Andrews

He would have married after 1837 so a copy of his marriage cert will give you his fathers name which may make searching easier

This is from Lancashire BMD - www.lancashirebmd.org.uk

Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1852
 
ELLIS Elizabeth OWEN Robert Manchester Cathedral Manchester CATH/88/90

The marriage is also on the IGI at www.familysearch.org

ROBERT OWEN m  ELIZABETH ELLIS  24 JAN 1852   Manchester Cathedral

You could try posting a request for an LRO lookup so if anybody is going to the LRO they can get the details for you from the parish record

You may want to bear this 1841 census entry in mind given that he named his firstborn Griffith.  The marriage cert should also show his fathers occupation

Many thanks CaroleW for this lead.  I did not search in a wide enough area and have not got to grips with IGI yet.  You have certainly kick started my next moves. 

Cheers. Smiley

Have got confirmation that Robert Owen married Elizabeth Ellis on 24-01-1852 at Manchester Cathedral.  Robert's father was Griffeth Owen (Joiner).  Any further help or pointers would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Alan

Hi Alan

So the 1841 is the correct family but I can't find them in 1851 at the moment

This is great.  Thank you ever so much Grin

My next logical question is how do I find out more about Griffith and take it back further?  I am thinking that that will get very difficult but there may be some avenues I haven't thought about.  Or is that something that IGI could help me with?

Cheers,
Alan

Hi

How about this IGI extracted record - but look at fathers surname?

GRIFFITH OWEN  Christening:  20 MAY 1793   Deneio, Caernarvon

Father:  OWEN ROBERTS    Mother:  ANN 

It needs a lookup of the original entry to see if there are any "clues"

No match for the marriage on the IGI/BVRI which was probably between 1819-1820 given that Margaret was born 1821

MARGARET OWEN  Christening:  29 JUL 1821   Deneio, Caernarvon  Father:  GRIFFITH OWEN    Mother:  ELEANOR

We may have a link !

I think the Margaret Owen mentioned on the 1841 and 1851 census is my Great Great Grandmother who married Thomas Prichard in Rhiw in 1854 (I need to check).   They had a son Griffith in 1857 (ish) who was born in Llanystymdwy; no other children.

I have found two possible marriages I think for Griffith and Ellenor - they are at home.  I will amend this post later with the dates.
