Hi

Dont know if I am  on the right board   

Could someone do a lookup for my gtgt grandfathers baptism as I am trying to find his parents.
 He was

Robert Davies b 11jun1833 it says LLangollen on the census.

Any help would be appreciated

Thx

Hi   

Most of the Llangollen requests are on the Denbighshire board. However, no problem as we all look at neighbouring boards. Llangollen was in the Corwen Union and Registration District which was in Merionethshire.

I've checked the parish records for a baptism but there isn't one in Llangollen around that time. It maybe that he was either baptised in another parish or maybe his parents were non-conformist

The spell checker has offered me Debauchery rather than Denbighshire. I've not noticed this before

Hi again

I've just looked in the non-conformist records that I have (by no means complete) and I don't see him   

What is the earliest census that you have him on and where was he?

hi Jl

I have him  on the 1841 Gweddelwern  aged 9 but i am not convinced as it says his father was Thomas Davies aged  60 and Jane davies age 35

thank you for taking the time to look

Hi lorrae


Is this him in 1881:

Nant y Ffrith
RG11/3567/6 8

Davies
Robert, 48, miller (corn) b. Denbighs,  Llangollen
Arabella, 47, b. Salop, Shrewsbury
Richard, 25, coal miner, b. Salop, Pen-y-berth (?)
Robert, 18, labourer, b. Flints, Rhyd-y-mewyn
Edward, 15, learning to be a coal miner, b. -do-
Arabella, 14, b. -do-
Elizabeth, 7, b. Flints, Ffrith

Do you have any information on his marriage?  This would give you his father's name and occupation.

This could be their marriage  (only one showing for a Robert Davies and an Arabella on Freebmd)

June 1870, Holywell, 11b 501

Robert Davies and Arabella Ffoulkes are on the same page

If this is them, then the earlier children could be from an earlier partnership of one or both of them

Hi JL
 
  That is my Robert Davies and I have his marriage cert he married Bella Griffiths.
  On the cert it says Thomas Davies was his father and he was a miller which corresponds with Robert being a miller in later life.
I was trying to find out if the Thomas and Jane on the 1841 census was Robert Davies parents, and their marriage   

Thank you for all your time and help

Hi Lorrae and JL,

You may have this already,  but it could be useful to post it into the thread for others' reference.  Seems to validate the 1881 entry found by JL;  but there are also some interesting mismatches in the data.  The marriage was evidently pre-1870.

1861 Census -- Parish of St John the Baptist,  Chester

RG9/2626 fo.57r p.7

DAVIES
Robert,  Head,  Mar,  28,  Corn Miller,  b. Merionethshire
Arabella,  Wife,  Mar,  27, -- ,  b. Flintshire Mold
Richard,  Son, -- ,  5,   Scholar,  b. [ditto]
Martha J,  Daur, -- , 7,  [ditto],  b. [ditto]
Isaac,  Brother,  Un,  21,  Corn Miller,  b. Merionethshire

(Children in age order shown.)
