Oswestry library look up on Brown

[wilcoxon]

 have William Brown bapt 31/05/1818  and Thomas Brown bapt 23/06/1816  at Oswestry,  both sons of Thomas Brown and Appolonia  unknown.
There was also  a daughter Mary, but not sure where she was baptised, and probably older than her brothers.
I`m trying to find Appolonia`s maiden name,  and wondering if they married in Oswestry.  There can`t be many with this name around  !!.
  I have found now that there are transcriptions of St Oswalds up to 1813, Oswestry in Oswestry library, I`d be very grateful if anyone is going there if they coud have a  look for me  for me.

Thank you.

Hi

I've got the Oswestry registers to 1812 but it will take  a while to search as they're on scanned fiche. If no one else can look up, I'll have a trawl through.

Oswestry records are on the IGI as well.

  Thanks for that , you are a great help   

  I`ll have  a look on IGi again for a marriage.

It's not there - already looked 

With Oswestry, it could have been a variety of places - Llanymynych, St Martins, Chirk, Whittington, Wellington, etc.....................

I've got a lot of the records mind!

Appalonia suggests, maybe, non-conformist

 Hi Gadget, I looked at Cheshire and found them.  It seems now that they moved to Oswestry by 1816 and then back to Chester by 1826 when a daughter Mary had a child born.  I need to find Mary`s baptism  to see how old she was when she had this child.   I think she was very young maybe 15/16.


THOMAS BROWN    Male   Family

   

Marriages:
  Spouse:  APELONE HUGHES  Family
  Marriage:  08 JUL 1810   Chester St John, , Cheshire, England

So Mary would be probably 1810 +2 ish.

What was Thomas's job, if you know. At that time it's difficult to find out. Just wondering about the Chester/Oswestry connection at that time - canals, road building are the things that come to mind.

Hughes is pretty Welsh mind - maybe that's the connection.

Thinking cap on

PS Have you got her on the 1841 or 1851 for a rough estimate of year/place of birth?

wilcoxon,

You give an Oswestry, Shropshire date of 1815 a couple of times above - however, from the IGI it seems that William was baptized there in 1818.

Oswestry, Shropshire, England (extracted entries):
BROWN Thomas, bap 23 June 1816, parents Thomas BROWN & Appollonia
BROWN William, bap 31 May 1818, parents Thomas BROWN & Apolona

The marriage entry which you quote is an LDS patron submission - not an extracted entry.  As far as I can see (from the Hugh Wallis site) records from Chester St John for that time are not on the online IGI; the LDS does seem to hold the film.

A cross-reference to another of your threads would have been helpful.  That thread, from December 2006, is at:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,201598

From census information in that thread it seems that:
Thomas BROWN was born Chester, ca 1787 and was a Chair Maker
His wife Appollinia (however spelled) was also born Chester, ca 1786
  (Her death in the Dec qtr 1855, Great Boughton, is on FreeBMD)
Their daughter Mary (married name DONE) was also born Chester, ca 1812

There does not seem to be anything to suggest that there were further children than Mary, Thomas and William - though, of course, there may have been.

  Thanks, the other thread was also mine, but I had`nt found William and Thomas`baptisms then. Ye s my mistake 1818,
 I `m not sure what the patron  submission means ??
I suppose it will have to be the records office.

Thanks again.

Extracted entries in the IGI were normally entered direct from church registers (or films of registers) under the controlled extraction program run by the Latter Day Saints.  They are, in general, reliable - but, of course, there can always be transcription errors.

Submitted entries in the IGI, however, were submitted by members of the LDS.  Sometimes they are accurate, sometimes they are little more than wild guesses    The marriage entry looks reliable but ...

I don't know anything about Cheshire records.  Here in Australia I guess I would be ordering in the relevant film(s) from Chester to my local LDS Family History centre.  I haven't checked out the Cheshire board but perhaps a helpful RootsChatter may have access to Chester St John records ...

Regards,
