1851 Shropshire Census Look up Please - Davies

[epw]

I would be grateful for any 1851 information regarding the family of Job Davies who is shown as 15 in the 1861 Census born in Chirk Denbighshire, and living at the time at Llangollen, with his parents Richard and Ellen Davies, aged 51.  Richard was a gardener.

I know that in 1851 they were living in Chirk Denbighshire which was included as part of the Shropshire Census.

I would be interested to know if Richard has given a place of birth, and if his wife was named Ellen and if there were other children living with them.

Many thanks in anticipation of any help. Kind Regards - Elaine from Perth in Western Australia

Hello Elaine,

I've found your family in the parish of Chirk, but they were actually living in the hamlet of Pennyclawdd.

Richard was HOH age 42 a gardener as you say. He was born in Glynn, Denbighshire.
Wife Eleanor age 47 was from Oswestry, Shropshire.
Their children were:
Mary Anne age 10 bn. Glynn.
Sarah 8 bn. in Chirk.
And Job 5 bn. Chirk.

I will try to send you a copy of the image. It's not very good I'm afraid. The edges have been cut off, but the reference I have is HO 107/1993/ Reg district Oswestry, Sub dist. St. Martin, parish Chirk, hamlet Pennyclawdd.

p.s. there were loads of Davies' in the area, you'll have your work cut out trying to sort them all out!

Hello Elaine,

I can't see how to send you the image as an attachment. I've done it in the past as a personal message. Maybe they have withdrawn this facility.

If you would like the image, send me your email address by personal message, and I'll send it to you.

Thanks so much Linda, I appreciate you wading through all the Davies' entries, which I am sure were quite plentiful.  It has given me a lot of information to go on. 

I will contact you in regard to the sending of the image, as suggested.

Thanks once again, regards, Elaine
