1851 Ruabon

[maidmarion]

Hi
Are some parts of Ruabon parish still missing from ancestry in 1851 please? and would this include  Acrefair or would that been included under another parish

I noticed from some earlier threads/posts that Ruabon wasn't included initially but would like to confirm if it has since been added.

Thank you

Acrefair and the rest of the Cefn Mawr area of the then Ruabon Parish are indeed missing from the 1851 Census on Ancestry.

I have the 1851 images but they're unindexed.

If you can give me full details, i might be able to find them for you.

Thank you very much for the confirmation William, much appreciated.

Hi Gadget.
I would like to take you up on the look up offer please.

There are two families I am searching for:
Firstly Mary Jones. I have the family in 1861 husband not at home. and he had died by 1871 Trying to confirm that he is called John?

1861 Trefynant RG9/4282, f.14, pg.2
Mary Jones W M 45
Edward 18
Robert 16
Sarah 13
Samuel 11 All born Ruabon.
 Mary is recorded as born Minera in the 1871 census.

Secondly Thomas and Ann Kelly living Acrefair 1861
born Wrexham, 1806 and 1803 respectively. Hopefully with some children

Many thanks

They don't look like mine then but I wont rule them out just yet incase she remarried:

Thank you for looking Gadget.

Were you able to find Thomas and Anne Kelly?

[Gadget]

I'm a bit puzzled why you don't think that they're yours

You said:

1861 Trefynant RG9/4282, f.14, pg.2
Mary Jones W M 45
Edward 18
Robert 16
Sarah 13
Samuel 11 All born Ruabon.
 Mary is recorded as born Minera in the 1871 census.

I found 10 years earlier:

Add 10 years to the children's ages and you have what you found in 1861 - correct names, correct birth places.

I've not yet found the Kellys. The 1851 for that area is very jumbled so it means going through carefully. It takes a llong time to go through census pages page by page and I've been shopping and gardening. I'll check on them later.

Hi
Sorry as I appear to have confused you

Firstly Mary Jones. I have the family in 1861 husband not at home. Huh and he had died by 1871  Trying to confirm that he is called John?

You have definatley found the ones I was searching for but I don't now think they are my lot, a case of too many Jones unless of course John Jones who I was hoping was Mary's husband has died and she has remarried.

Complicated and a long shot but I had to at least check it out.
