That's fine - I'm travelling tomorrow. I'll try and take some of my Chirk records with me and be in touch.

Hi Val and Gadget

Thanks for finding out all that information.
Would you know how we can obtain information on properties owned by John Williams in 1868 and who owned the following?
One address was 36 Chirk Village in the 1851 census
202 Cefn Bychan, Ruabon  in the 1861 census
He evidently owned a few other houses but had them under a Bond until he had rebuilt a bridge near LLangollen called 'Baeba" Bridge.
Thanks F

Hi Feathertail

There might be something in the Denbighshire archives at Ruthin:

Do you have the full census refs, please - year ref/piece no. Folio and Page - it's a lot easier to find the properties than having to search from scratch when you already have them.
