Oh no! I've just spent about 20 minutes writing a reply and 'and error' occurred just as I was about the to post.. I has all disappeared.
Many apologies.. I didn't want to be a nusisance. Name Thomas Davies born about 1835/36 Flint. Occupation Collier. Daughter Mary (my gt. Grandmother) 1861/62 and Ann 1868. (If I have the right family in Census). She married in Liverpool 1883 but in 1891 Census says she is born Flint. Father on marriage entry is Thomas Davies, Collier. There is a Thomas and Sarah with Mary and Ann in 1871 Flint with Edward Griffiths, who I think is Sarah's father. Sarah and Thomas appear in Census up to and including 1901. He is buried in July 1901 at Northop old cemetery.
However the only marriage for a Sarah Griffiths and Thomas Davies is 1850 when he would be 14! I can't find any Census records that look likely. There are two Baptisms in 1835/35 (1) Thomas and Jane (2) Thomas and Ann.
I still don't have the right birth record for Mary, which would at least confirm if I have the right wife/mother in Sarah Griffiths. I'm just about to and for another copy from the GRO.
Thanks for the map.. I looked for one but couldn't find anything.
Also thanks Roger for the non conformist bmd reg. I didn't know about that. There are dozens of Thomas Davies though so I need more clues before taking that further.
