Denbighshire / Re: Cox Wood Cheshire or Wrexham
« on: Thursday 10 March 11 16:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

Don't know whether this is relevant or not but Cox Lane and Cox Wood are actually in Marford which was once upon a time in Flintshire ( see Marford in wikip...) It was an enclave of Flintshire completely surronded by Denbighshire.

Thanks for all the info. Have got the death cert which is what set me wondering why he didnt die where he lived. Must have gone to the doctors and died there poor b****r. He obviously wasn't wasting the docs time though.
Another mystery solved. thanks again

Thanks for that. I did wonder if the surgery was up and running at that time.

Susan if you're reading this and you can pull up the chapel street census for 81 or 91, could you give me a name from it so I can read either side of it. Any name but not John jones obviously. ::)

Thanks

Thats the problem. My ancestor died there but didnt live there. I thought if I could find out who did live there it would solve the problem of why my ggggrandfather died there. :-\

Hi

Just wondering if there is a way of finding out who lived in a house in 1881 and 1891 through the census. My ancestor died at Chapel House, Chapel Street, Wrexham in 1885 but he didnt live there.
The only way I can think of to find out who lived there is, if I could latch on to a name of any of your ancestors living on that street at those times and scour the surrounding pages. Does that sound feasible.
Only got a few ancestry credits left and dont want to waste them searching about aimlessly.

Thanks
Elaine

Thanks for all that :)
Due to you giving me a christian name, I have now found out loads of stuff eg. that he had a portrait painted that hung in the boardroom of the Infirmary plus his obit. I wonder where the portrait is now?

I also found out that it was Dr TT Griffith who attended John Evans, the miner trapped for days in Coedpoeth that survived by eating candles. So I imagine it would have been William that drove the carriage and doctor up there

I have the books mentioned and am now going to trawl through them in greater detail. You never know his coachman may get a mention by association. Not holding my breath though ;D

Does anyone else have an obsession about just one ancestor. It seems the more I find out, the more I want. Even little snippets will do. Finding out what he looked like (not likely) would be like finding the Holy Grail!

Denbighshire Lookup Requests / Doctor in Wrexham
« on: Thursday 26 November 09 14:14 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone

I have an obit for my gggg/f (died 1885) William Henry Bunn (I think i have all the available info on him) on the obit it says "longtime coachman for the late Doctor Griffith" (no first name) My question is; can anyone find out his first name and where he lived or did he have a surgery, if indeed they had surgeries then.

I know William lived in Harrison court, Mary anne sq and Lampit st. which were near the town centre, so I wouldn't imagine his employer would have been too far away.

Also on the obit it states that he (William) died in Chapel house, Chapel street. Why would he have died there, was it a hospital or workhouse of some sort. I think it was a welsh Chapel too and William only came to Wxm in 1850 via the Army then sgt in Wxm militia. He was born in Essex so he was English.

Not your normal look up but I hope someone can help

I have been to the Wxm museum but they couldn't tell me anything.

Thanks

Norfolk Lookup Requests / Re: Brundall parish records

Hi Yokel

Thanks for that info. I have recently got the will of James Glasspoole and one of the beneficiaries of it is a John Glasspoole aka John Bailey. So that fits. Somehow!

I wonder why he is on the 41c and marriage as Glasby but everywhere else he is Glasspoole. I would definately say they are the same person though.

I think I need to access to the parish record for more info.

Thanks
Elaine
