Denbighshire / Re: Blackwell's from Rhyl area

Hi Carl,

Happy New Year to you - just wondering if you had any luck in finding out your ancestors via the DNA route, and discovering who was Wilfred Blackwell's father?

The 1921 census was released here in the UK yesterday so I have a bit more information for you -  while my great grandfather (Robert Vaughan) was now living elsewhere with his sister's family, Elizabeth Blackwell was now married to John Morgan (married in Rhyl in 1915) and living with her children John Henry Blackwell (no Wilfred, but perhaps he was working/living elsewhere at age 16?); Florence Blackwell had died aged 10 in 1917; and there was another daughter Edith Mary Blackwell who had been born in 1911 (so at the time Robert Vaughan and Elizabeth were living together); and finally son Cornelius Morgan born in 1915.

So the question mark remains over who could be the father of Wilfred, Florence and now also Edith... possibly Robert Vaughan? Not sure if we'll ever find out!
All the best - JG

Hi Carl,
That's intriguing - so there is a slight chance that your grandfather may be son of Robert Vaughan, and be in our family line after all? The 1921 census could hold some clues/answers too, and not too long to wait for that now.
Robert Vaughan died in 1930 at the St Asaph Union Workhouse Hospital, with his address given as Kinmel St, Rhyl if that helps at any point.
Best of luck - let us know if you find anything more.

Hi Carl. Thanks very much for your reply. It bas helped to piece things together. Catherine, Gertrude, Eva and Alice were actually Robert's children with his estranged wife Margaret - Gertrude was my Grandma. So it seems likely that he and Elizabeth just lived together for a while. I checked and Robert isn't listed as father on Florence's birth certif. robert died in the pauper's hospital with no family listed so perhaps their connection wasn't very long. Interesting to read your info about Cornelius. Will be interesting to see who is where when the 1921 census is released!
All the best

Hi - is anyone still using this post, as I might have some helpful info.

My great grandfather was Robert Vaughan, who is listed in the 1911 census as married to Elizabeth (formerly, Blackwell/Halewood). Like you, I can't find a marriage for him to Elizabeth, and I think the reason is that he was still married to my great Grandmother - although they were estranged. Unlikely to have been able to get a divorce in those days. She moved from Rhyl to live with her three daughters (my grandmother and great aunts) in Shotton.

So, I'm intrigued as to whether the younger Blackwell children (Florence, Wilfred) were actually his children, so half-siblings to my grandmother?? And in fact, whether there were any other children, born to Robert and Elizabeth after 1911. Does anyone know about this?

Hi Stretchie

I don't know if you're still interested in this line, but I've got a connection with the Chester/Berwick Hoggs. I traced their line back, and then forward via Robert's older brother Alexander.

Would information around the Chester Hoggs be of use / interest to you? I'd be keen to know of your research around Robert and Maria!

Lancashire Lookup Requests / 1841 census Liverpool - HOGG
« on: Thursday 03 February 05 18:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there,

Can anyone help me find the Hogg family in the 1841 census of Liverpool?

The family I am looking for are George and Janet Hogg - probably born in Scotland.
In 1839 I know they lived at Bond Street in the Liverpool Scotland district, St Martins. Children were Alice/Alison, Archibald and Janet (probably more).

Any help or advice would be welcome  :)

Thanks - JG
