Help required with 1861 Wales/England census please

[Gadget]

If you can say what part of Denbighshire it was, I'll have a detailed look - it's my 'home' county.

I think I have Samuel 49 and Catherine Davies 60 in the 1891 census, still in Bilston
ref:-
 RG12; Piece: 2242; Folio 40; Page 1; GSU roll: 6097352


And two possible marriages where Catherine/Catharine Edwards is on same page as John Evans

Catharine Edwards .... Mar 1851 Dolgelly 27 211

Catherine Edwards .... Jun 1858 Corwen (Denbighshire,Merionethshire).. Ref 11b 674

Hope you have success..

Hi Sam

Some success to report...

I have Catherine and Samuel Davis in the 1871 census in Bilston...

John 11 and David 8 are entered as Davis,not Evans ....and Catherine is there aged 2.

RG10; Piece: 2950; Folio: 82; Page: 29; GSU roll: 836422.

Samuel's place of birth is entered as Wrexham... Catherine's as Worthen...John as Bilston ...and David and Catherine jnr as Wrexham.

The Corwen Registration district covered a wide area of Denbighshire and Merionethshire. Wrexham and Oswestry were neighbouring districts.

The best place to search would be the North Wales BMD:

Wow, Gadget, that is a brilliant site, isn't it?!

And as well as the two possibilities for her marriage to John Evans, there is also this one to have a look at, Sam!!

DAVIES Samuel EDWARDS Catherine 1867 Wrexham, St Giles Wrexham County Borough (Wrexham) North Wales C45/07/38 

Hmm....

[scriv2]

This would appear to be Catherine with John Evans and son John aged 1 in the 1861 census in Bilston....

Place of birth for John aged 1 is again given as Bilston, so should make it a bit easier to trace.

Class: RG9; Piece: 2005; Folio: 108; Page: 17; GSU roll: 542901.

Hi
Yes, I had got that one, but I was having trouble with the marriage, I will look for the death of John also, which looks like it will be in Wales as the second son was born their, I guess with John snr being a coal miner that the death rate was quite high
Many thanks, Sam

[MissBea]

Many thanks for all of your help and suggestions, I will look into them over the next few days!! I had been looking for Catherine for quite some time and it feels great to have the pieces slotting into place!
Many thanks again, Sam

Me again....

I think I have John Evans in the 1891 census with wife Eliza....
Ref:  RG12; Piece: 2242; Folio 48; Page 17; GSU roll: 6097352.
They are living in Bilston (where else??) with daughter Catherine aged 1


Might be worthwhile investigating his possible marriage to Eliza Walker in Dec 1889 in Wolverhampton...I haven't tried to confirm that yet.

You must be tired today,Sam, after staying up into the early hours doing this...it is very compulsive!

Good luck,
Barbara
