Parish records for Denbighsire? - UPDATE - Welsh readers needed please!

[Gadget]

I've found the bpt of the older child, Thomas, in 1848 in Glynceiriog (b.  4 March 1848) . From the address, there might be another marriage to an Anne Davies - will investigate further and get back to you.  I'm having to trawl through a few records!

Hi again

I think the Anne Davies marriage is correct. See this 1841 census for Anne in Llandrillo with parents Evan and Eleanor:

HO107/1428/20/4/12

This fits with the information on the later censuses.

Is there a possibility she may have been named Eleanor, but called Ellen??  This would be the right reg district for area born.

Births Mar 1851   
Evans    Eleanor         Llanfyllin    27   74

Hi Gadget so with your knowledge of area, do you think this maybe correct?

It's the most likely one Cas. Otherwise, she wasn't registered. And given that Anne's mother (and twin sister)  appears to be an Eleanor/Elinor, the first born might well be named after her.

I think I've also found the baptism of Anne and her twin sister, Eleanor, in Llandrillo  as well as Thomas snr. at Berllan Helig/Helyg*.

Thomas and Anne moved to Glynceiriog proper in later censuses. Their later children do have names that might be linked to Anne's sisters!

It would seem sensible to have the first two children baptised in Glyn,  as the vicar was nearer than the Llangadwaladr one!


Got to go and paint some wood now

*Added - Berllan Helig was between Tregeiriog and Nantyr Ucha on old-maps

This modern map shows how close, relatively, Llandrillo was to the Ceiriog valley:

Just a big climb and descent of the Berwyns  - my ancestors did similar trips    In fact, apart from the Scottish and Shropshire ones, they all came from the area covered by the map!

Wow. Thanks a lot Gadget! One day I hope I can do for others what you have done for me this week....a long way away though methinks!

[Gadget]

It's not that kind of painting, Cas. it's strips of wood to attach to windows for roman blinds

But thanks for your concern. It is nice to have you back on board 

Alex - a pleasure. Others have helped me search for rellies in USA and Canada 

[Cas (stallc)]
