John/Jane Owen Of Chirk.

Thanks Gadget.GR for once has come up trumps.I contacted someone earlier who has the said James and Edward in their Tree.The contact has just replied,saying he is a descendant of the two son's sister Jane born in 1834.Jane was to marry a Philip Keddie apparently.The contact confirms the 1814 marriage to be correct.

Glad that I was at least able to help with the marriage 

Keddie is a familiar name to me - I'm sure there were some Keddies in Chirk when I was growing p. Maybe you could PM me who the contact is, in case I'm a contemporary 

Did you get baptisms for John and Jane or do you want me to do some searches?

PS  _ I see that they have a tree on Ancestry as well!  Not a lot of info as to parentage of John and Jane though.

Two possible baptisms for Jane in Chirk:

23 March 1790 d/o Edward and Anne (Brynkynallt)
27 Nov 1891 (born 8th) d/o Robert and Anne

Burial 18 Jan 1850 John Owen, Pen y park, aged 63 - so b. a bit earlier than you thought.

Thanks Gadget.Yes the Keddie children of Jane's were born in Chirk.Its also a name I know vaguely from Cefn Mawr.All the contact has is that John Owen and Jane Davies were both born in Chirk given as 1794.He doesn't have the other possible children of Johm amd Jane,I think there were another three,one baptised as Owens in the Chirk PRs in 1826.

Of course I was going by the possible Census and the Tree for ages of John and Jane.Contact's Tree has John dying in 1850.No death for Jane.

Well, if John was 63 when he died, his most likely parents were a John and Margaret (1785). Will need to do more checks.

Thanks Gadget.

Hello again, WR.   I've had a good look at my Chirk booklets and the only Owen(s) family having children in Chirk 1790 +/- 10 were a Thomas and Sarah, but no John.
 
I've looked at Blackwell but, as you know, Chirk n-c records aren't there. Nothing in neighbouring townships either

Thanks Gadget,don't worry to be fair we haven't done too bad to say the least!

Hi I just spotted this thread.  The Philip Keddie and Jane Owen you refer to were my 2nd great grandparents.  I was born in Chirk of the Keddie line.   Hope you have found what you were searching for.
