Brookhouse, Denbigh

[ScouseBoy]

According to Genuki,Brookhouse was part of Llanrhaeadr yng Nghimeirch sub-district of Llanrhaeadr/Ruthin





According to FreeBMD there is only one death in Ruthin district consistent with a birth date of 1844 and that is in Mar qtr 1911(11b 216).Perhaps this is one you have already obtained?
Interestingly,NorthWalesBMD has two deaths for a Robert Roberts(one a Robert J Roberts)in 1911

1911 RHAEADR/07/4
1911 RHAEADR/07/5  (Robert J Roberts)

Perhaps a request to the local office at Ruthin may distinguish these and/or reveal any relevance.

What year are you referring to in your interpretation of  "GENUKI"   web site?

Is there a difference between civil  registration boundaries  and the boundaries of religious  parishes?           I think there must be.  It can be very confusing at times, particularly  as Civil Adminstrative boundaries change  regularly.

I think that Brookhouse was in the Parish  of Denbigh, because Brookhouse is only 200  yards away from The Parish Church of Denbigh, St Marcellas.

I'm sure there are differences between religious parish boundaries and civil registration districts.I was referring to the civil registration for BMD to identify a death year for certificate purposes.If you access the page below and then go to Maps/Places within the boundaries you will see Brookhouse specified.It is a separate question I think where anyone from Brookhouse may have gone to church and/or been buried,but I can't find a church parish register record that would help.There is also the possibility that they were non-conformist(?).

I have marriage for Robert Roberts and Jane Jones at the Independant Chapel, St.Asaph in 1868. I shall have to dig deeper into this Chapel.
Kind regards

The Registers may have been transferred  to the Denbighshire Records Office at Ruthin Gaol.

Has there been any further progress on this?
I am also searching for a Brookhouse resident, William Jones b.1842.
Genuki correctly states that Llanrhaiadr Parish came under Ruthin but then goes on to say that the parish was reduced a lot in the 19th century - so it may have changed.
There is some confusion in the GRO transcripts for the records I was looking at, 4/5 Williams in that quarter, so I phoned the Ruthin Register Office to find out whether it would be possible to go there and check.
The lady was very helpful, asked who I was looking for, found the records, confirmed that one was for William son of John & Ann from Brookhouse and let me order it over the phone.

That was a service that I didn't know about.

Today  Brookhouse is part of the town  of Denbigh.

St Marcellas church is close to Brookhouse, the cemetery there may contain  the family.
