Not sure about religion. I`m trying to confirm a story that she born in the Prince of Wales Inn in the Rhos district.
1851  Moreton Above, Rhos,  all born Ruabon.
 Elizabeth Hopwood   widow 35  (looks more like 55 to me )
 Edward Hopwood  27
 Mary Hopwood  17

Had a look at my Rhos records and they don't start until 1853. I'll have another look with that age. When did Elizabeth and Richard marry - to save me looking it up!

PS - NW BMD certainly has that registration though!

Father was Robert Hopwood  who was a coal miner and publican, who married Elizabeth Davies in 1844 at Ruabon.
Mary b 1847.
Richard b 1849
Catherine b 1851

I think the family I found may be Roberts mother and siblings .
Father was Richard b 1794 Mold and Elizabeth was Mears.

It`s not to find out the ancestry etc of this family,  that is not important , but just to clarify that there was a pub called Prince of Wales  in 1847.

Rather than ask for a search for the pub , I thought it best to give  names and dates that link to it.  I can`t see it named in the 1851 census .
There are 2 pubs of this name on the CFHS site, but no details of publicans and years.
Please don`t spend lots of time on this.

There's  one listed in Hand Lane, Ponciau ( the former Prince of Wales)

PS - And here:

(Think the Ponciau one more likely than the Cefn one!)
