Wilcoxon - I see you have

Robert Jones  7 grandson b Wrexham

He's actually son and born Gresford.  It's Jane who's a granddaughter and b. Wrexham

Ps- also William is 61 not 41.

Only marriage/banns coming up so far is 1830, Wrexham - Hannah Roberts

Wilcoxon and I have been trying to find a mmn from possible birth reg of the children of Hannah and William Jones. Not found a possible so far. However I've found the baptism of the probably first child, John:

Hope
Oct 23 1825 John Jones, son of William (Blacksmith) and Hannah of Caergwerley(!)

So, need to look for a marriage before then.

 I found William and Hannah still in Cefn y bedd.

There is a good age gap between William and Hannah, I wonder if he was a widower when he married Hannah.

Cefn Y Bedd 1861
 William Jones  70  blacksmith b Hope, Flintshire
 Hannah Jones   55 Hope, Flintshire
 Harriet Tudor   dau marr  25 b Gresford,
 Robert Jones   17 b Gresford 
 Hannah Jones   15 paper cutter b Gwersyllt
 Jane Jones   13 b Wrexham

William had died between 1861 and 1871
This is still the same area, on the census Little Liverpool is entered on the same page.  The site of the old Wire Mill is still there. 

1871 Old Wire Mill, Gwersyllt
 Hannah Jones widow   64 b Llay
 Harriet Tudor  dau marr 34 paper maker b Llay
 Ezra Tudor  grandson  9 b Mold.

I found the 1861 census, but not the 1851 or 71 census. i can't find any relevant census for John Williams either.
I really appreciate your help, thank you very much.
Is there a pub that you think William and Griffiths would've frequented in the area that I might pay a visit to? My girlfriend is from Anglesey so we can call in for a pit stop on the way back home.
Ahh a bottle of coca cola and a packet of crisps whilst waiting for my dad to have a pint... Childhood memories after visiting the local scrapyard. Nice to see I wasn't the only one being spoilt in such a way.

The only one close is the Holly Bush, . The New Inn and the Olde English Gentleman were much nearer , but only the New Inn  still stands and is now a private house. The name is still outside.

Wrexham Advertiser 15th February 1858

CEFNYBEDD. SUPPER AT THE HOLLY BUSH On Saturday night last, the 6th instant, the wireworkers in the employ of Messrs. Eddelston and Price, together with a number of friends, sat down to a sumptuous supper at the Holly Bush, Cefnvbedd, the chair being occupied by Mr. Wm. Barratt.

It`s possible Griffith worked for Eddleston and Price.

It`s possible Griffith worked for Eddleston and Price.

Not sure about that, Wilcoxon, as he was in Cefn Mawr in 1851 and Crewe in 1861 

Not sure about the pubs in Cefn - WRJones might know
