Brookhouse, Denbigh

[cnerys]

Hi,Could anyone advise me which registration district would Brookhouse in Denbigh come under please? I am trying to obtain a correct death certificate for my 3x great grandfather Robert Roberts who on the 1901 census is living in Brookhouse with his wife Jane. Because of the common name there are many deaths in Ruthin district and also St. Asaph and I have bought incorrect death certificates from both districts. He was born approx 1844 as his age is consistent on all the census.
Kind regards

There are a number of burial records on FindMyPast which might help.

The only Robert Roberts wife Jane I can see on 1901 census is still there in 1911. Do you have a any more info which might help, such as occupation, children etc?

Hi Colin,
By the 1911 Census, Robert Roberts is deceased as his wife Jane is living with her daughter and son in law Edward and Mary Ann Williams with Mary Ann's son John H Roberts living at Bryn Hyfryd Pwllglas.
Robert and Jane Roberts had 4 children, Margaret, Robert, Jane and Mary Anne. I have bought recently death in 1911 and 1904 both incorrect and have sent for Ruthin district, is this where I'm going wrong?
Kind regards

he's alive in Sept 1903, as there's a death announcement for Jane, wife of Thomas Jones and daughter of RObert Roberts of Brookhouse

There's also a Robert William Roberts of Brookhouse being appointed as overseer by RHuddlan parish cuocil in 1910 -not sure if this is father or son

Hi Mabel,
 Thank you for the info, we knew of the death notice in the paper of Robert's daughter, which means Robert and Jane were still living in Brookhouse in 1903. We have been unable to find any such death notice for Robert Roberts or his wife Jane.
Kind regards

Don't think Robert William Roberts is part of my family, Brookhouse was only a small place, I'll investigate the census for him. My Robert Roberts did have a son also Robert Roberts, gets confusing!

Currently, in the present day, Brookhouse lies within the town of Denbigh. 

Denbigh is slightly nearer to St Asaph than to Ruthin, but there is not much in it.

There is a cemetery at St Marcellas church, Whitchurch Road  which is very close to Brookhouse.   It may reward you  to pay a visit  to that church and cemetery.

There is a Brookhouse Mill  which currently is a very popular Restaurant and Bar. In fact my son once worked there.

Once upon a time it was a working mill, alongside the River Ystrad.

There is a row  of terraced cottages named Brookhouse consisting of  about 20 properties at the most.      Does the census give a house number or house name?

I live in Denbigh,  so if you give me any more details, I can physically  go  and look at the house/cottage   Or the Cemetery.  If you are too far away yourself.
