If he was living in the Wrexham area in 1841 you won't find him.The entire Census for the Wrexham area is missing.

Hi Norma

Do you have Benjamin's marriage certificate? That should give you his father's name.

Possible marriage? Gt Boughton RD covered a part of Flintshire.

Marriages Dec 1860   

Davies    Elizabeth Arabella     Gt Boughton    8a   558     ***
Jones    Margaret        Gt Boughton    8a   558   
Jones    Peter        Gt Boughton    8a   558   
THOMAS    Benjamin        Gt. Boughton    8a   558            ***

I don't immediately see a marriage for a John Thomas and a Hannah - could be Flintshire, Denbighshire or Cheshire  :-\

I know of the Gt Boughton RD  as some of OH's ancestors were born there  - so automatically thought 'Chester'  :)

I've looked for John and Hannah's marriage on FreeReg and on my own Welsh sources but so far nothing  :-\

Will have a think - could be a non-conformist marriage that's not been transcribed.
