No they didn't have any children at all. On the 1901 census they're living in Coppenhall Monks, nr Crewe, as William was working on the railway, & eventually they emigrated to Canada, but I'm not sure when.   I know he died in Winnipeg in 1949.  It's just that I was wanting to see who her family were.   Thanks, Amberly

OK, I'm back & I've studied the map & yes I can see where you mean & that could have been it. Whether the farm is there now or not I don't know, but the road hasn't been changed there, has it?   May be the wall was actually the wall of the house??    So what do we do now to try & find her name?  Does the farm have a name?  That may ring a bell with me??  Thanks again, Amberly

No I've never sent for the marr cert but she married William H Roberts. Didn't realize they got m in St James Rhosddu, that's where I was christened.     Is there anyway we can find her F's name without the cert?  I suppose I could send for it.   I'm in the middle of cooking supper, I don't live in UK, must go, but I'll be back on line in 1/2 hr.    Thanks Amberly.

While you were replying I was too, but the message has got lost although I clicked send. Anyway here I go again.    Yes that's the correct family that you've found.   When I visited the farm I'd be coming on the bus from Wrexham & I think we used to look for a school ?? on the other side of the road & then get up & pull the bell & the bus would stop right outside the farm gate.  The house was right on the road with a high wall around it. Mind you I was small so it may not have been that high!! And the gate was a farm gate & you could see through into the yard.  The house was on the left of the gate.  I figure Aggie & Reg were in their 60's. I've no idea if they had any children, there were never any there.    On the 1901 census Agnes is living with Selina, her husband & their 6 mth old baby named Charles E at Moreton Cottage. The sisters were b in Weston Rhyn.  Can't think of anymore I can tell you.   Amberly

Thanks for that.    The 2nd site you gave me makes interesting reading on the history of the town, thanks for that too.  Amberly

Shropshire / Agnes FOX m. Reg? & lived in GOBOWEN

As a very little girl [in the 1940's]I used to go on the bus with my Gran to visit a small farm on the main bus route from Wrexham to Gobowen. We'd get off the bus & cross the road to the farm, it was right on the edge of the road.   These were friends of my Gran who lived there named Aggie & Reg.   Aggie I beleive was Agnes [nee FOX] but I don't know what her married name was.  Reg was her husband, but what was his surname???
I beleive she was sister to SELINA Fox who m David Lewis from Chirk Green.   Anyone who lives around there now have ideas who they may have been???   Amberly

I've just been browsing the messages & see that "Black Knight" lives in Little Drayton.  I'm not exactly sure where this is, but assume it's nr Market Drayton.   "Black Knight" seems knowledgeable on the area, so I'm wondering if the Woolrich family are known there.  A Jane Woolrich married my grandfather's bro in Wrexham in 1898 & was b in Little Drayton in 1874.  I have no more info on her family & would like to be able to trace them.   So "Black Knight" what can you come up with???     Amberly.

Would Little Drayton be near Market Drayton?   I have a Jane Woorich who appears to have been born there?    I can't find it on the map.   Amberly
