MOSTYNS in Whitford, Flintshire

[ellerydesign]

Hi,

I'm researching the Mostyn family in Flintshire and would appreciate some help if anyone has access to the Whitford parish registers - baptisms and burials.
These are the families of 1) Sir Roger Mostyn, 3rd Baronet and his wife Essex Finch; 2) Sir Thomas Mostyn, 4th Baronet and his wife Sarah Western.
I would appreciate any baptism and burial details from these registers on this family.

Many thanks, Craig

This is all terrific Osprey. Many, many thanks. I haven't used Rootschat for some years as I've been studying and had forgotten what a terrific resource it is and how kind people are.

Could I push my luck and ask you to see if there are any Whitford baptisms for Pennant children between 1775 and 1785 for a Thomas Pennant and an Anne Mostyn. Also a burial date for Anne Mostyn pennant in 1802 and a burial for Anne and Sarah Pennant between 1777 and 1794? Just if you have the time.

I'd be very grateful.

Thanks, Craig
