Can anyone help with links to parish records for Denbighshire? I am trying to locate the early years in the life of Ellen Evans, born 1850 to father Thomas. She is my 2nd great grandmother. She married Henry Lund in 1876 and then Thomas Dixon in 1896. In both the 1881 and 1891 census her birthplace is given as Nantyr, Denbighshire. Unhelpfully, the 1901 census gives her birth place simply as Aber (I say unhelpfully - is there a place simply called Aber??) I have tried to find her birth certificate but without success. A search on Familysearch earlier has thrown up a couple of baptism records which seem close by geographically and are my best hope yet, but there is no info about parents:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/results?count=20&query=%2Bgivenname%3Aellen~%20%2Bsurname%3Aevans~%20%2Bbirth_year%3A1849-1851~%20%2Bfather_givenname%3Athomas~&collection_id=1419318My question is, is there any way of seeing the records online?
UPDATE - having done another search through the census entries for 1851/1861, I have found the the following references:
1851: HO107/ 2499/ 569 Page: 5
1861: RG9/4313/ 62 Page: 12
Now I believe these might the right entries - not least because Jane Evans, who appears on the 1861 census, might be the same Jane Evans who was a witness to Ellen's first marriage. The ages and names of the family all tally from one census to the next.
The only slight doubt I still have is regarding place names. Although the census states Llangadwaladr is in Denbighshire, I can only appear to find it on Anglesey. Can anyone reassure me to this end?
Many thanks
Alex
