Ruabon Parish Lookup - Beesley and Green * COMPLETE *

[Morganllan]

Hello
I'm very new to this so hope I'm not asking too much in one request? 

I am interested in marriages at Ruabon of Beesley and Green family members.
In particular these happy couples:
Edward Beesley married Elizabeth Parry in 1864
John Green married Mary Savage in 1838
James Green married Anne Edwards in 1867


Thank you for any help you can offer

Hi again


Ruabon Marriage by Banns

22 December 1838 John Green, bachelor, collier. Residing at Morton Above.
Father - William Green, collier

and

Mary Savage, spinster. Residing at Morton Above.

No father's name given which often suggests that she was illegitimate. The only way to confirm this is to obtain the marriage cert:

Dec quarter, 1838, Wrexham RD, vol 27, page 4000

The only Mary Savage baptism in Ruabon is 3 July 1825. Parents -  William (collier) and Hannah Savage of Ponkey. This is a bit late for an 1838 marriage as she would have been only 13 if she was baptised as a new born. I see from the 1851 that Mary was born circa 1815. They do have a daughter Hannah though. 

It would be worth obtaining the marriage certificate.

The other marriages are a too late for my records but these are the refs to the marriage certificates:

Beesley/Parry:  June quarter, 1864, Wrexham, vol 11b, page 554
Green/Edwards: March quarter, 1867, Wrexham,  vol 11b, page 410

Savage appears to be an unusual name in the Ruabon registers and this might be relevant as Mary gives her birth place as Ruabon.

There are a Robert and Mary Savage having children at Morton Above :

Baptisms of children to Robert and Mary ~

8 Jan 1804 William* (born 19 Dec 1803)
2 April 1806 Susannah (born 5 March 1806)
1 March 1809 Thomas (born 16 January 1809)

*William married Hannah Phillips on 29 January 1825. I assume that these were the parents of the Mary wh was baptised in July 1825, previously mentioned

There are three other Savage females mentioned in the 1802-1812 marriages - Ann, Catherine and Jane. None of them appear to have been baptised in St Mary's, Ruabon though

A possible baptism of William Green:

Ruabon
31 January 1779 William son of John and Sarah Green of Morton Above

There are a few Sarah Griffith(s) but the most likely baptism is:

13 Sept 1778 Sarah daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Griffith of Morton Above

Hello Gadget
What a lot of information you have found about Green and Savage families in Moreton Above!
Thank you very much for such a comprehensive reply.

Re John Green born 1813 or 1816, I think 1841 census said the 1816 John was born in Ireland, which fits with family lore that Greens came from Ireland.  In this case he wouldn't be the one baptised in St Marys, but I'll keep an open mind for now.

I'll add the marriage to my list of certificates I need!
Thanks again
Morgan
