Overton baptisms - Joseph Edwards (abt 1820) and siblings
« on: Monday 27 July 15 22:25 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know where I might find baptisms at Overton? The ones on FindMyPast seem to end in 1812 and I'm looking for Joseph Edwards, born around 1820, son of John and Sarah Edwards (nee Roberts), who were married on 8 Feb 1817 in Ruabon, and any possible siblings.

Joseph is consistently recorded as born in Overton despite living in Chirk from 1841 until his death in 1879.

Many thanks, 

Deirdre

There is this Baptism on Family Search where Overton is wrongly given as Overton Cheshire!

Thanks Megran, i'll have a look.

Hi WRJ, thanks for that. Interesting as it's from the Cheshire BTs! I was looking in Flintshire  ;D

Thanks Andy, just found Joseph and a couple of siblings on FindMyPast, thanks to WRJ finding Overton in Cheshire!! :)

Edited to add: so Overton was in Cheshire at the time, bad enough to have moved districts but to move country  ;D

Hi,
The GENUKI website has information on Overton. A photograph of the church is on the Clwyd FHS website.

Hi

I don't know whether Overton was ever in Cheshire but it was in the Diocese of Chester which would explain why the BTs are at Cheshire Archives at Chester. I suspect that Familysearch and Findmypast have put Overton as Cheshire purely because that Archive was the source of the images.
