Huxleys in Anglesey

[hunkyhywel]

I'm struggling to find the Huxley family in Anglesey in the 1841 census.
Particularly I'm looking for Owen Huxley.

He was born in c.1822 and baptised on 14th Apr 1822 in Aberffraw in Anglesey.
In 1844 he was living in Caernarvon at the time of his marriage.

Could anyone find Owen and/or his family in Anglesey? I have no idea who his parents were and would love to find out more.

Thanks in advance,
Hywel

The parish record for his baptism has - son of John and Catherine Huxley, Tafarn y Baglan, Miller.
Also brother George baptised 1 Oct 1826 - son of John and Catherine Huxley, Aberffraw, Miller.

dragonT: Thanks so much! That's shed some much needed light. Can I ask for your source?

suzard: Wow, I love details like these! What is the source? Is it in the 1841 census? What was the source?

trish 1120: Thanks Trish! What do you make of these then? Do you think John b.1795 Llanbeblig married Cath Hughes there in 1814 and moved to Aberffraw to have John, Owen and George then moved back to Llanbeblig?

Aberffraw parish records have the baptisms - Owen page 32, No. 256; George page 47, No. 371.

FamilySearch.org has these records (transcription only), FindmyPast has transcriptions and images - but will charge. Owen's surname is transcribed as Hoxley.

First part of this information is from Merchant Seamen Register 1835-1857
The central government created this register to monitor a potential reserve of sailors for the Royal Navy
(another register was made c. WW1 time)



second part is 1841 census

UK mariners who were on vessels at the time of the 1841 census were not recorded on the census as they were in later census

Hi, I am new to this site so please be patient. I am no whiz kid at IT !
     I have been searching for Huxley's in Caernarvonshire for some time and have a brick wall
at Llanbeblig where there were two John Huxleys at about the same time.
     The Huxley's were millers at a waterwheel in Llanbeblig called Peblig Mill. Seemingly the previous generation or so had the same trade at Copperas Hill in Liverpool but I cant make the link.
       Have a look at a website called ( and watch the spelling) called "carnarvon traders" , I think you will find that interesting.
       I don't do social media or ancestry or the likes. This site says not to give your email address.So
I will look at the site occasionally to see if there is any response.
       If someone can indicate a safe way to contact(other than this site) it would help me greatly.
