Thanks Gadget. I do have the marriage certificate but all it says is "The Parish Church" "Holywell".

Thanks all for your help and fast responses. I am going to take WRJ advice and use St James, it also makes sense with where they lived. I was surprised that FamilySearch dont list the specific churches either for Holywell as they do usually have the churches specified on the films/reference materials.
I also learned from you that the issue with mis-classification of parishes on the records on FindMy Past extends beyond Anglesey where it is one hot mess! and I thought Anglesey was the only county to have this problem. I am providing emails to the FindMyPast support team every time I come across an example and have been doing this for some weeks, still awaiting the corrections though, will chase them up once again today to see when we can expect the corrections.
Best Regards

Flintshire / Flintshire Banns on FindmyPast question
« on: Sunday 03 September 17 10:36 BST (UK) »
does anyone know which specific church these relate to? I have a marriage in 1859 (David Griffiths and Elizabeth Williams 24th July) and according to the Marriage Certificate it is in the "Parish Church, Holywell". The Banns on FindMyPast dont actually say which church so I traced it back via the film number on FamilySearch and it is listed simply as "chapelry of bagillt" with no church name.
much thanks for any help

yes thanks I have all of that info plus another child of Griffith and Elizabeth called Margaret born on 21st August 1913. She tragically died aged 28 and is buried in Llanallgo in a grave next to her Mum and Dad and with her son who tragically died aged 17.
Wondering if you have any information on his first marriage to Ann and children they had beyond Annie and Edward?
much appreciated

LynRoberts I am researching this family that you are related to int he context of a project to map the families of those men from Llaneugrad who died in WW1 and 2. Griffith Parry Thomas is the one I am currently working on and after his mother committed suicide he and sister Ellen went to live with your great grandparents John and Mary (his mothers sister) in Eugrad House. I have found his records for his merchant service and death and wondering if you have any info on how he died and his children by Elizabeth his second wife? Much thanks

I have a bit more information on Gamfa Fawr/Hen Gamfa fawr (as it was spelt back then). I happen to have a Plan of the Parciau Estate from 1868 together with the details of all of the properties on the Estate. In case you didnt know the Parciau Estate owned that whole area back in 1868. The original property of approx 17 acres was called Gamfa Fawr and the tenant was Owen Thomas in 1868. As part of the property there was a piece of land which was called "Site of Old House, yard etc" and the map shows a rectangular building. I wonder if this was the Hen (old) Gamfa Fawr? The entire property consisted of 14 different areas, some were fields, some hilly areas and garden. I also have details of 2 estate auctions one in 1920 and one in 1934 that were held as the Parciau Estate sold off the properties. Gamfa fawr was not sold off in either of thse auctions so it must have been sold privately at some other time. i don't have a record of this but I am sure you can get this information from the Title register on the Land Registry website for about 3 pounds or so...
