Henry Owen of welshpool help

[Howen]

Hi to all,

I have been searching the Owen family from Montgomery for a few years now and I have hit brick walls. Henry Owen b. circa 1750 m. Mary Parry (daughter of Edward Parry of Leighton) in Trelystan 1780. They had three children, one Thomas my gggrandfather and he died in 1862. His headstone reads he was late of Garfawr Guilsfield and of Church Hill house. I have been told he is buried in St. Mary's Parish Church Welshpool by a fellow historian.
Mont. collections states Henry was ancestor of Church Bank house and Varchoel
I would like to know if someone can tell me what these are and give me any other help as trying to find who Henry's parents were.

Kind Regards
Helen.

Hope this link helps. It seems Henry Owen was a hereditary Burgess of Pool.

You will need to go to tools and 'find'  type Henry Owen.

Hi Alberbury,

Thank you so much for this lead.

I did know the family were hereditary Burgess of Welshpool but have been hitting brick walls as where to search. I live in Australia and still learning about all of this.
Will post back and let you know how I go.

Thanks
Helen

I have just turned two pages of the above link.
Mary Parry had married three times. Is this right ?

Mary Parry (daughter of Edward Parry of the
Dairy and Anne his wife), bom circa 1746 ; married
twice—first, a Mr. Briscoe ; secondly, in 1778, Rev.
William Williams (of Dolanog), M.A.; Rector of
Llanfyllin, 1774 ; Newtown, 1794 ; Llangadfan, 1796 ;
R.D., J.P. He died 1813, and she died llth February
1829, aged 79 (M. I., Welshpool Church), having had
three children—

and the family continues on the next page.

This is an interesting part of the family.

Thomas Parry (son of Edward Parry of Leigh-
ton and Anne his wife), born 1776. Went to the East
Indies, and founded at Madras the eminent mercantile
firm of “ Parry and Co.”, which still exists. In his will,
dated 4th March 1823, he mentions his wife, Mary
Parry, and makes the children of his late brother John,
his sisters Jane Bryan and Ann Pugh, and the children
of his Bister Mary Owen, his residuary legatees. He
died at Porto Novo, 14th August 1824, without issue
(see a Biographical Sketch of him as a “ Montgomery-
shire Worthy”, infra, p. 243).
NOTE.
It will be seen that there have been three families of Parry con-
nected with Welshpool, all resident long in the neighbourhood—
i. Parry of Llanerchydol (see vol. xvii, p. 351).
iL Parry of Welshpool, benefaotors to the Welshpool Almshouses
(see tupra, p. 148).
iii. Parry of the Daily, and afterwards of Leighton (see tupra,
p. 214).
The members of each of these families were Hereditary Burgesses
of Welshpool from an early period, which appears from the following
list:—
1678. Humphrey Parry,
Bailiff.
1700. Humphrey Panry.
1727. Henry Party, Vi-
car of Ouilsfleld.
Humphrey Parry
of Henton.
1690. Thomas Parry,
Bailiff.
1700. Thomas Parry.
1721. Humphrey Parry
of Moydoch.
1728. Thom 88 Parry,
Bailiff.
ui.
1690. Bichard Parry of
Diaaerth,“whose
ancestors are
mentioned in
the old Eyle”.
1778. Edward Parry,
Leighton Hall,
an Hereditary
Burgees.
David   Parry,
Leighton.
1818. David   Parry,
Leighton Hall.
The three families were also possessed of properties oontiguous to
each other in or near Llanerchydol.
From these two circumstances, and from the reference to ancestors
of Richard Parry in 1690 being “ mentioned in the old Eyle”, a strong
inference, it is conceived, arises, that the three families had a com-
mon origin ; but we have been unable to discover any further evidence
of oonnection between any of them. There is a tradition that the
“ Parrys” No. in originally came into the neighbourhood of Welsh-
pool from Anglesey, and that they introduced the black cattle of that
district into this county. But whether this tradition referred to
that   branch exclusively,   or to   a   stem common to the three branches,
it is   impossible   to   say.   The   tradition   does   not necessarily negative
the original unity of the three branches.
The Parrys of Leighton lived in good old style. One of the con-
nections Bay that “ he has often heard his father talk about spending
Christmas Day at Leighton Hall, when he was a child ; he said they
drew in the Yule log with a horse! *

Hi

Thankyou again for these new links. I didn't go very good with the first link but will go back in and try again.

Do you know what the Almshouses are and also church bank house as I have not been able to determine this.
 
Mary Parry daughter of Edward of the dairy only married twice, once to Biscoe in 1767 and after his death to Rev. William Williams in 1778.

My Mary Parry was daughter of Edward of Leighton Hall and she was the one that married Henry Owen of Welshpool and it is him I am trying to find out more about.

The Parry family has been an intriguing journey so far and Thomas was indeed my Mary's brother.

Thanks again
Helen
