1841 census for Rossett - DAVIES

[Coldstream Lynn]

I have been looking for the Davies family in 1841, they lived in Rossett/Allington/Lavister, in later censuses, but I have been unable to locate the village on ancestry for 1841. Does anyone know if this census is available elsewhere?

[Coldstream Lynn]

Just for information, I have cheked with Flintshire records office and these census pages no longer exist.

Hi there Coldstream Lynn
I too am interested in the Davies name - Charles Davies (fathers name Thomas) born around 1842/3 birth place given in the 1851 census as Rossett Denbighshire but can only find birth registrations for Holywell, Wrexham, Ruthin & Oswestry.  Do you know which of these Rossett comes under? 
Hope you can help.

Hi Jonjor.  Rossett would have come under Wrexham.
Mike Davies, no relation as far as I know.

Hello Jonjor, I would agree that Rossett is covered by Wrexham although I haven't ordered any certs myself. I am very interested in your Davies family, as i have a Charles Davies, father Thomas in my tree, Thomas was a wheelwright. His eldest son George, was also a wheelwright and was my husband's gg grandfather. I would be very interested in hearing from you if you think that it is the same family.

Good morning Lynn
Yes I think we're looking into the same Davies family.  It's my husbands side of the family
If we're on to the same family am I right that Thomas married Eilza - who??
Charles the eldest son of Thomas/Eliza married Henrietta Boothroyd and they had 8 children
one of whom was Frances and this was my husbands grandma.  He used to know
Charles as Uncle Charlie.   Does any of this info fit in with your findings??
Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Joan

Was your Charles & father both wheelwrights? I have Thomas' wife as being Mary, she is living with the family in 1851 & 1861. I had followed Charles & found him marrying a Henrietta from Chester, they went on to have 9 children, one of which was a Frances c1880. I haven't been able to find a Thomas married to Eliza with eldest son Charles on the census. i 've found Charles & henrietaa in 1871/81 and 91 in Lavister/Rossett, so am sure that they are the right ones, but Charles was not the eldest child, George was.

Let me know if you think we are connected

Hello Paul

Many thanks for looking into the Davies family in Rossett.  It will keep me out of mischief for a while as I check the details of Thomas and Mary.  I thought Mary could have been called
Jones but it certainly gives me something to look into.
Again, many thanks
Joan
