Gittins,Iron merchant Wrexham 1850-1900
« on: Sunday 12 June 05 13:49 BST (UK) »
John Gittins was an iron merchant in Wrexham.He was born in Ruabon a son of Richard ,a draper.
John married Eliza Harrison and had children:Sarah 1855, Eliza 1850,Frances 1854,Emily,and John Colemere1858.Cannot find Frances marriage certificate on Wrexham index though I know she married a Joseph Wenyon around 1880.
Eliza Harrison came from a strong Wesleyan background,does anyone know if John Gittens was a lay methodist or where I might check to confirm this?
John died 1896, Eliza his wife in 1902.John Colemere died in 1906.He had 3 children Geoffrey,Walter and Nancy.Any known whereabouts?

Have you noticed the coincidence that Stretchie is also researching GITTINS/ HARRISON?
