STEEPLE in Ruthin around 1700

[trimochyn]

I'm looking for STEEPLE who married John HUGHES (1661-1738) of Ruthin. I can't find anything at all. There are Steeples in Flintshire - Bagilit and Holywell - at roughly this time but not in Denbighshire. The only thing I have to go on is a mention in a letter of some connection with the WYNNE family of Gop in Trelawnyd: an item passed down, possibly a painting, from Steeple to Wynne, but that's as much as I've got.

Dear Trimochyn

If you'd like to take a look at my website I've filled in quite a lot of detail about the STEEPLE family in Clwyd.   Unfortunately a marriage of a John HUGHES to ---- STEEPLE hasn't appeared.  However, you may have seen the burials in Trelawnyd on 28 Jan 1764 of Elizabeth WYNNE sp. of Gop and that of Susanna Maria WYNNE d/o Thomas W. (Gent.)  Also of Thos s/o Thos WYNNE, Esq. (Welchman).  As Thomas is described as a Gentleman I would imagine there will be a Will which might help in your search.

Dear Jill,

Thank you so much. The surname list is amazing. I'm going to ask a related Wynne/Mathews question over in the Flintshire forum because I think it belongs over there now!
