Hi

I was born in Brymbo and I can inform you that Long Row was completely flatenned long ago and was a car park for the Brymbo steelworks way back in the 1950s. I was born in 1941 and I it did not exist when I was growing up. Sorry!

Regards
John

Hi Malc69

Are you sure that your ancestors are registered in 1871 at Mount Pleasant Inn Broughton? I ask because when I read the 1871 census entry for the Mount Pleasant inn there was just John Edwards and his family there!!
Could your ancestors have been there in 1881 perhaps, because John Edwards had moved out by then.

Many thanks Barjo for your comments. Is the present building largely the same outside as it was in 1871, do you think?Any further info would be welcome.

Many thanks Lynne. I will visit that area soon. If you do find any more information in your books, please let me know.

I have n't checked this forum for quite a while hence the delay in replying.

Thanks again and good hunting

Hi maidmarion

From the 1861 census there was a Margaret Jones, 1 ,listed as dau. of Mary(Margaret?) Jones, housekeeper and , possibly, John Edwards. I noted that the housekeeper was listed as married. Was she married to a Unknown  Jones, the father of her child? I found a marriage of a Thomas Jones to a Margaret Owens in Wrexham in 1857. If this was correct, they could have had a child, Margaret in 1859/60, separated, Margaret destitute goes to work as housekeeper for John Edwards which takes us to 1861. Possible !!

Good Hunting

Hi

Yes my grandfather is John listed as grandson. I have found a John Owens, neighbour of Mary Ann, who I strongly feel is the father.  My grandfather's name on his BC is John Owens Edwards following the practice of giving an illegitimate child the unnamed father's names as forenames.

I agree as to the reasons why John was possibly adopted but  am puzzled that I cannot find her DC or a marriage for Mary Ann.There are some marriages in the 1880's for Mary Ann Edwards  but I do not think they are the correct one.

Yes I have located a probable  DC for John Edwards in 1883 (Wrexham, Jun 11b 220) when he was 72.

Also Ihave obtained the DC for Margaret Jones Edwards(5/10/1872) which is correct i.e. her husband is given as John Edwards, she is 37 and she lived at Mount Pleasant, Cerney. All correct.  Her name suggested to me that she was married to a Jones and either, he died or they split and she wished to carry the name onfor their childrens sake?,and then she cohabited /married John Edwards. That is why I want to find out whether my grandmother is the child of a Jones/Margaret or John Edwards/Margaret.


I hope I have not confused any possible helpers with some of this information and let me restate that my request is that for someone with access to Wrexham Church Records, to please lookup baptisms for 1862/3/4 for a Mary Ann(e) Edwards with a mother Margaret Edwards/Jones and father John Edwards or Thomas? Jones.


Thanks
