Thank you, Roger. I had hoped that Hannah was on the Williams side.  :'( I hadn't found the Joseph Hughes marriage.
I will keep looking but I certainly haven't got your skills at turning up evidence.
I really appreciate the time you have taken to do this. :)

Without exception, on the census between 1861 and 1901, Thomas is older than Anne which surely suggests the ages are the wrong way round on the Marriage Cert....but where does that leave me?

Many, many thanks!!!!!

RK you are such a star! Thank you.

Out of the list you posted only Thomas 1837 fits and this is the one I have been favouring. However, on the marriage certificate in 1860, Thomas is 19 and Anne 22 and this is why I carried on looking and turned up John and Ruth.

I turned my attention to Anne. On the 1841 census, it doesn't look as if Anne was born. She was 9 on the 1851 census. If there was a mistake and he was 22 and Anne 19 then John and Mary seem to fit perfectly.

If I could eliminate John and Ruth as parents (do I need to?), then I would be as certain as I can be that I've got the right family. I can't find a marriage for John and Ruth. I suspect she was married before (stepson John Iball).

Burial Registers??? I've looked at Flint Burials - no luck.

Thank you, Roger. Buckley Road/Mold Road would make sense.

Thanks Chris,

Your geography certainly does clear some things up. I've lived in the area for 60 years and didn't know how the parishes were created. Do you happen to know where Buckley Road was? I'm not at all sure but I thought Argoed was part of Bistre. None of my Williams family seemed to have strayed much further than the common (later addresses are all The Mountain, Buckley Mountain, Ewloe Wood). I wonder if the area around The Square extended to the Common?

Of course, this doesn't get me any further but its all really interesting so thank you  :)

Thanks for your suggestions RK. I really do appreciate your thoughts.

I haven't turned anything up so far. No birth certificates (not sure which one to send for and if I had one, I wouldn't know if it was my Thomas). No baptisms that fit. Nothing in newspapers. Not sure when he died but think it may be either 1901 and 1911. Wife, Ann also seems to have disappeared (died?) after 1901. I have searched (physically) all the graveyards in Buckley but can't  find him.

I haven't been able to find any records on any of Thomas's possible siblings.

I can't find another marriage for the Thomas that isn't mine. I am well and truly muddled. :(

I will surely find something EVENTUALLY! :)

Thanks for this, Roger.

The address on Thoas's marriage certificate (in 1860) is Argoed. I don't know where the division of Argoed and Bistre would have been but I think the addresses would have been very close. I hadn't considered it. I'll try and find a map. :)

Thanks RK. I've set up two trees and I'm trying to find as much as I can on both families. I  found the likely Thomas's within the age range on North Wales BMD but there were quite a few. This is how I managed to narrow it down to two possible mothers. Unfortunately, I haven't found any baptisms yet. Actually, I haven't found anything new for a year. I am grateful for  the suggestions you've all given me and I'll just keep trying.
