Interestingly there is a baptism of a Thomas Whitfield 02/02/1783,given as born 03/01/1783.His parents are given as a Richard Whitfield and an Anne Williams!this Thomas could be the one showing as later married to an Elizabeth and having children in Hanmer 1809-1822.Included among them is a son John born in 1813 in Hanmer,who  it so happens is in my Tree!

There is an 1824 will at NLW for Richard Whitfield of Haighton(?),Hanmer.Unfortunately he only names his wife Anne.There is als a signatory James Whitfield.As there is not a James in the list of possible siblings.perhaps he is a brother(or some other relation).

The Thomas(1783) may well be the one given as born in Flintshire in c 1786 and living in Overton in 1841.

There is a link from the 1841 Census entry to two Trees on Ancestry showing him as the son of Richard Whitfield and Anne Williams.
