Title: Robert Whitehead, 1788 Hawarden
Post by: GingerVicky on Monday 24 October 16 12:57 BST (UK)

Hi there,
I am trying to find out the parents of Robert Whitehead who was born in 1788 in Hawarden. I know he was baptised 17th February 1788 in Hawarden and I know that he married Catherine Hughes but I can't find the name of his parents. I am trying to find out if he was related to the Whitehead I have in my family who was born at a similar time in Hawarden.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Vicky

Great thank you so much. That really helps. Just got to figure out if there's any connection between that family and mine.

Can anyone see who Robert Senior's parents were? He probably is Robert Whitehead born 1752 Hawarden. Thanks again

Hello Vicky

If you'd like to take a look at my website, www.clwydsurnames.org.uk, I've filled in some Whitehead details which you might find interesting.  Let me know if you'd like some of the other gaps filling in.

Best wishes
