Hi
I'm researching the family of John Thomas Cash b.1896 Broughton.
I have a baptism for him Q4 1896 Wrexham gives his mother's maiden name as Windsor.
A national school admission register gives his dob as 7 November 1896 and his father, Thomas.
Searching marriages of John Thomas Cash to a Windsor brings up a marriage on 1 Mar 1924 at Gwersyllt to Elizabeth Rogers and also, that Elizabeth's father as Daniel.
1901 census - John Thos Cash is with his parents (Thomas & Sarah Cash) and siblings Jane, Edward, Lilian and William. All living at Broughton. His father is listed as born 1849 and a labourer (Pit Bank) with birth place Gwersyllt. Sarah's year of birth is 1863 and born Welshampton, Shropshire.
1911 census - John Thomas (J.T.) is aged 14, living at home in Broughton with his widowed mother Sarah and siblings Edward, Lilian, Hebert and Gwendoline. J.T. is listed as a trollier below ground. [John Thomas Cash b.1896 died 1965]
John Thomas's father THOMAS CASH
Birth record - Thomas Cash born 14 May 1848 - mother's maiden name Griffiths, District Wrexham. Baptised at Gresford church. Abode: Summer Hill. Thomas's father: John Cash (labourer), mother: Ann.
I looked for a marriage for Thomas Cash to Sarah Windsor (as proved above), local to Wrexham, and found one in 1885 (bans 1, 8, 15 Feb 1885) at Brymbo. Sarah was living at Cobmere, Salop.
I looked through all the census lists to try and follow this THOMAS CASH through and I seem to get a mixture of people whose birth places are not necessarily Denbighshire.
1901 Thomas Cash (born Gwersyllt 1849) Labourer & Sarah (Welshampton) +Jane b.1886, Edward b.1891, John Thos b.1897, Lilian b. 1899 and William Windsor newphew b.1890, living Broughton.
1891 Thomas Cash (born Broughton 1848) Miner's labourer & Sarah (ditto) + Jane b.1886, E.Ann b.1888, Edward b.1891 Joseph b. 1865 and William Windsor b. 1890, living Broughton.
1881 John Cash (born Chirk 1822) Plate layer & wife Ann (b. Bangor 1823) + Thomas Cash b.1849(colliery labourer), Edward Cash b.1858 & Joseph Cash b.1865, all living Broughton.
1871 John Cash (b.1823 Chirk) Labourer & wife Anne b.1824 Flintshire. Plus Thomas b.1849, Emma b.1851, James b.1857, Edward b.1858, Elizabeth b. 1860, Ann b.1863, Joseph b.1865 and 2 boarders, all children born Summerhill, Denbighshire. Family living Moss Gwersyllt.
BUT THEN I FIND A JOHN CASH WITH A DIFFERENT WIFE.
1861 John Cash (b.1820 Chirk) Coalminer & wife MARY CASH b.1821 St Martins, Shropshire. Plus Philip b.1846, Thomas b.1848, Elizabeth b.1851, Sarah, 1856 and Mary b.1859 - all born St Martins, Shropshire - except Elizabeth born Staffs. Family living Wern, St Martins. Shropshire.
In 1851 there are two records that could relate to this family -
Ann Cash - Head - Widow - b. 1818 coal miner's wife, born Chirk with Thomas Cash, son, b. 1846, born Chirk, both living at Pentrehuged, Chirk.
(and another)
John Cash (b.1821 Chirk) & wife Mary b.1821 b.1821 St Martins, Shropshire, plus children: Philip b.1846, Thomas b.1848 and Elizabeth b.1851 all born St Martins. Family living Walsall Street, Wolverhampton, Staffordshire.
1841 census
Thomas Cash (b.1791 Denbighshire) coalminer, & wife Elizabeth b.1796 Denbighshire, with children
Ann b.1821, John b.1821, Chud b.1826, Philip b.1826, Samuel b.1828 and Edward b.1833, all born Denbighshire. family living Black Park Barracks, Chirk.
I have 2 marriages for JOHN CASH
- (1) to a MARY ROGERS on 5 July 1841 at St Martin's - groom's father's Thomas Cash, spouse's father Richard Rogers -
- (2) to a ANNE GRIFFITHS on 9 May 1846 at Holt, Denbighshire - groom's father Richard Cash and spouses's father John Griffiths.
I apologise for such a laboured posting but I needed to get all the information down.
I would be grateful for anyone's remarks as to whether I have correctly identified the family I am tracing - and whether some (or all) the census records I have given are right. Could it be that John Cash was twice married? But the marriages above quote a different father!
Thank you for taking the trouble to read this.
