[pritchardgeo]

hello can you help me again please.
looking back at my family tree I have a census for 1851 in chirk Shropshire

what is very confusing and a mistake I think I have made is,i have a George Pritchard born 1812-1816 chirk.
is this the same person please.
I have a marriage in pontfadog 1832 to Elizabeth Roberts.
going around and around on this.
any help please.thank you again.brian

Two distinctly different birthplaces - have you looked for him on later censuses to see what birthplace he gives?

Llantysilio is in Denbighshire but you have posted on the Merionethshire board

[CaroleW]

Are you confusing the 1851 entry?

It's the 1851 for Wales and he was living in Chirk Denbighshire (not Shropshire) and born in Llandisilio, Denbighshire

what is very confusing and a mistake I think I have made is,i have a George Pritchard born 1812-1816 chirk.

Giving that span of birthyear you are quoting from the 1841 census

[CaroleW]

1851 has a son George aged 6 born Chirk

Freebmd has his birth in the September qtr 1845 and GRO search shows mmn is Roberts

If George snr was born 1816 - an 1832 marriage would mean he was only 16yrs old and Elizabeth 18

Eldest daughter was born 1834 so that 1832 marriage does fit

There is a baptism in Chirk for a George Pritichard on 21 April 1814, father - Thomas, mother - Ann. Nothing showing for Llantysilio or Llangollen (which is just a few miles away).

Llantysilio is in Denbighshire but the Reg District/Poor Law union was Corwen, Mer. Likewise, Chirk was RD/PLU was Oswestry , Shropshire.

Added - noticed that they married 'with consent of Parties ' , which suggests one or both were  under 21. As it was by licence, the licence record may have more info.

sorry to have posted on the wrong board
i have the marriage bond attached
and that they married in Llangollen 1832
in most census returns it just says born Denbighshire. except the 1851 census that has him born in llantysilio but living in chirk.
just wondering if that baptism is held at the national library of wales ?.
thanks.brian

A copy of the original baptism entry can be seen by following this link

(FindMyPast is a pay site)

The National Library would have a copy also.

Clwyd FHS  have the entry in the BMD  booklets that they have produced.

Just seen that George was 'of Halton' on the ML.  Halton, as you may know is in that part of Chirk which we locals (current and past!)  call Black Park.
