Peter Davies - shoemaker, Holywell, 1810-82.

[johneowens]

I have a 14 Jan 1810 baptism at St. James Parish Church, Holywell for Peter Davies, son of John and Sarah? but I cannot find the family in the 1841 Census for Wales (aged 31). My 1851, he is living with his wife Ann? and 6 children at Bagillt Street, Holywell, Flintshire. Again, I cannot find him or the family for the 1861. The children are Edward (b.1837, Amelia, b. 1839, Sarah Elizabeth, b. 1842, John b 1845, Peter, b. 1847, and Anne, b. 1849)

I would appreciate any help with the 1841 an the 1861.

Many thanks

Best wishes

Hi John Owens,
Have found Peter with ?Ann on the 1841 census with two children Edward age 4 and Amelia (could be Amelia) age 2
They are living on Bagillt St, Holy well. Peter's occupation is difficult to read but the first word looks like shoe!
Will check out 1861 now (if it's not been sorted already)
Regards, Lancs-lassie

In 1841 - the family are in Holywell - search using Melia Davies b 1839 - mis-transcription of Amelia

Many thanks, Lancs lassie and Carole. These are surely mine. Now, we are on a roll, let's see whether anyone can help with the 1861.

Some parts of the Welsh 1861 are missing

Flintshire – Mold (Nerquis part missing, Gwsaney, Hartsheath and Hendrebiffa missing).

If you scroll down the search page of the Ancestry 1861 census - you will see the following header

Known problems with 1861 piece numbers:
•Pieces from RG9 where all parishes are missing (we do not have ANY records for these pieces):

Thanks again, Carole. What is it about the Welsh records. The 1841's for parts of Denbighshire are also missing.

Thanks anyway.

Best

Could anyone please help me with a marriage between Peter Davies (shoemaker, b. Holywell, 1810) and Ann Davies (b. Mold Flint, 1815) - probably at Mold in about 1836? The 1841 for Bagillt St, Holywell shows Peter with Ann and two children (Edward age 4 and Amelia age 2)?

Peter's father is John Davies. Unfortunately, no information on Ann's father.

Many thanks

Best wishes

Peter Davies (shoemaker, b. Holywell, 1810) and Ann Davies (b. Mold Flint, 1815)

Was Davies Ann's maiden name as well as her married name?

[Deirdre784]

Was Ann's maiden name Davies?

There's a marriage between Peter Davies (bachelor from Mold) and Ann Ithel (spinster from Mold) at Mold on 19 Dec 1835. Witnesses: Robert Davies and Arabella Hughes.

Strangely, there's a crossed out record for banns published at Bagillt, between Peter Davies of Holywell and Anne Ithel of Mold in December 1835 (6, 13 and 20 Dec) and a note added to say 'not married'. Could they have been published in the wrong church?
