William, I'm glad you know where all these parishes are :)

There looks to be a baptism of a Sarah Jones to a Ed Jones of Windymill and wife Anne, on 9th December 1787, Halkyn.

Half of my families are from the area!

Hello again William  and sgf28

Thank you so much for doing this extra research.

I think find my past might have it a bit wrong.  I found this on the Clwyd family history society web page where Jill Rose had transcribed both Edwards and Jones marriages:
 159/37   6 Feb  Holywell                               Sarah JONES sp/20 otp d/o Edwd & Anne m. Saml EDWARDS ba/21 otp s/o John & Eliz.
when I did the reverse and looked up Samuel there was the same info. but no parent's names.  I'm certain Samuel was 21 not 25 when he and Sarah married.  As for Nannerch v. Holywell  I'm not sure which is the more likely/reliable.

Thank you for the information about Hugh Jones as a witness and yes looks pretty certain he is Sarah's brother and that she was born in Halkyn.

I don't have a find my past subscription but noticed through the LDS site that FindMyPast appear to have a
Samuel Edwards baptised in 1787 in Holywell.  Could one of you please check that for me please

once again with many thanks for all your help.  Alison

Entries are incorrectly given as for Nannerch on both Family Search and FindMyPast.They are for Holywell though.

There is a baptism for a Samuel Edwards at Holywell in 1787.His parents though are given as Thomas and Jane Edwards.

aha thank you that clears that up.   Their first  four children were Edward, John, Samuel and Anne- Elizabeth, so I think I've got his parents right as john and Elizabeth.  I'll have another try with Paisley records just in case.

best wishes, Alison
