Denbighshire Lookup Requests / Re: Jane Humphreys born 1827 in Gresford or Moss

If your granny was Violet, then you are related to Linda Cooke and Rita Wynn. They are sisters and they took us to the cafe. My husband is Colin Holden, and his grandfather Herbert Whitehall was Elizabeth's youngest son, born after she moved to Liverpool. She lived with Herbert after he married and had children, see the 1911 census, Colin's mum Doris was a baby.
Regards Sue

My husband has Elizabeth as his great grandmother and we're in touch with a family who have Margaret as their great grandmother. They took us to Marubbi's cafe when we visited them in Wrexham a few years ago.

Thanks for info. I was doing research for a friend who is a Devenport. I think you've taken us back a bit more, so she'll be happy about that

I thought that myself, so looked to see if I could find an Elizabeth and John with same parents. I found a William and Elizabeth, the births were 1787 for Elizabeth, and 1793 for John, which would mean John didn't marry till he was 28.
At John's baptism his father was a baker, but no occupation on Elizabeth's.
William and Elizabeth are family names, so could be right parents.

Jane and John Grant were married in Chester, so I thought I'd try Chester for John Humpreys too.  I found one in 1821 to Catherine Thomas, which I think is more likely than 1804 or 1800. Also he was a cabinetmaker. So I'm pretty sure its them.
I have gone on findmypast myself now.
I found 3 earlier births in Wrexham to a John and Catherine Humphreys, Elizabeth 1821, Mary Ann 1823, William Thomas 1825, (Thomas could be after maiden name of mother), and the father John was a joiner, so maybe they moved out to Gwersyllt before they had Jane in 1826.
I cannot find any apart from Jane on any censuses, or find any deaths for John or Catherine though.

Those marriages seem too early, even the 1804 one is 22yrs before Jane was born. I know it's not impossible, many had babies in their 40s, but could there be a John and Catherine who married at a later date

Thank you so much. Just need John and Catherines' marriage now, and any siblings she had

Maybe he moved to Gresford after he married, as there are no marriages in Gresford for a John Humphreys, unless they are not online yet. I don't seem to be getting any nearer to knowing.
