Hi there - my 3x gt grandparents Sarah Jones and Samuel Edwards married at Holywell on 6 Feb 1808. I've seen a transcription of the record and it was particularly helpful - confirming their birth dates and even giving both sets of parent's names. Both were otp. However the 1851 census states they were both born in Paisley Renfrewshire!!. They were then living in Liverpool. He died before 1861 and in this census the widowed Sarah was listed as being born in Holywell.
I'd particularly like to confirm Samuel's birth. The marriage record gives him a birth year of 1787 (as do census records) parents John & Elizabeth Edwards. Could someone please check and see if he was born in Holywell and if it is not too difficult any indication of his parent's marriage.
Sarah was born in 1788 parents Edward and Anne Jones on her marriage record. Again I'd really like to know if she was indeed born in Holywell and any more information about her parents.
with many thanks
