Baptism 5th November 1840 Liverpool St Peter
Parents - Thomas and Elizabeth Forsyth.
Address is Bolton Street

[NNR]

I stand corrected! Had managed to convince myself I hadn't been able to find any Forsyth baptisms in Liverpool, yet I must have come across this at some point if it's a St. Peter baptism. Thanks for jogging my useless memory!

Yes, Mary Ellen is one of the 'right' ones. William (1839) and Elizabeth (b.c.1843) are the two others, although I have the birth cert. for the former.

.... would you be able to search for potential siblings of Elizabeth and Edward? Elizabeth, I know, did have a younger sister (she's living with parents John and Mary in the 1841 census on Mold High Street (or New Street).

Margaret Simon, 9 Oct 1803 (born 6 Oct) Edward a miner, Mary formerly Mary Williams, of Gwyssaney
William Simon, 11 May 1805 (8 May)
Charles Simon, 25 Oct 1807 (22 Oct)
Mary Simon, 25 Feb 1809 (23 Feb)

Will look for others later.

Wow! Thanks Deidre, really appreciated.

Is Edward listed as a miner for all of these baptisms, or just the first?

[Deirdre784]

Only listed as a miner for Margaret's baptism, others just say Edward and Mary, formerly Williams, of Gwyssaney.

Baptisms for children of John and Mary Williams at Mold (there would appear to be two or even three John and Mary Williams  ):
David, 26 Feb 1809 (born 18 Feb), Mary formerly Williams, abode Mold
Mary, 30 July 1809, abode Mold
John and William, 27 Jan 1810 (born 25 Jan), formerly Jones, abode Llwynegrin
William, 11 Nov 1810 (born 5 Nov), formerly Williams, abode Mold
Sarah, 1 March 1812 (born 27 Feb), formerly Jones, abode Llwynegrin
Elizabeth, 11 April 1813, John a labourer, abode Mold
Margaret, 11 April 1813, John a labourer, abode Mold
Griffith, 16 Oct 1814, John a stone cutter, abode Llwynegrin
Roger, 24 Sep 1815, John a joiner, abode Argoed
Joseph, 12 Nov 1815, John a labourer, abode Argoed
Robert, 31 Dec 1815, John a labourer, abode Mold
Edward, 6 Mar 1816, John a labourer, abode Mold
Edward, 22 Jun 1817, John a stone cutter, abode Llwynegrin
Mary, 3 Dec 1817, John a hairdresser, abode Mold
John, 27 Dec 1817, John a joiner, abode Argoed
Bella, 25 April 1818, John a labourer, abode Argoed
Barbara, 19 July 1818, John a labourer, abode Argoed

Only looked from 1808 to 1818 (5 years either side of Elizabeth) but then realised I hadn't found the Sarah from 1841, so extended a search for Sarah and found: Sarah, 13 July 1825, John a joiner, abode Argoed [this may  help with the families].

I guess this means there may be more baptisms from 1818 to 1825 but there are rather a lot of Williamses to look through. 

I hope this helps, or at least gives you something to work with  .

Deidre, thanks for going above and beyond with that huge list!

The disparities between John being a labourer from Mold when Elizabeth was born, and being a joiner of Argoed when Sarah was born are going to be quite hard to get past, though!

Looks like with the additional info I've had a hit!

Edward Simon m. Mary Williams, Bistre, Flintshire, 13/12/1802. That's about four miles away from Gwysaney...

Witnesses were: Evan Griffiths, Catherine Jones and Edward Williams. All signed x.

Deidre, thanks for the quick turnaround there! I look forward to doing some digging next week and see if I can find his first marriage (and maybe kids?) somewhere...
