Note that if Robert was born Newbridge rather than Chirk (censuses give both). You might well not find him in 1841 as the census for Ruabon (includes Newbridge that borders Chirk parish) is missing.

Sorry, Sandra - it does look as if it's the one you found.  The witnesses to the marriage are George Jones and Harriet Davies - sibs of Mary and Robert.

GRO Marriage ref will be Q2, 1857, Corwen, 11b, 693

Why would they be at Castle Mill  and then moved  back.

Now I can go celebrate my birthday !

Looks as if there might well be a link to my ancestors ~

A Richard Jones and Ann Ellis, married in Chirk  on 5 April 1823
The witnesses were William Parish and Susannah Davies
William is possibly my 2nd grt grandmother's brother.

Add = Ellis does seems correct as  the birth reg  for Catherine , 8, on the 1851 census shows  her mmn as Ellis

Chirk - Bpt 11 April  1842, Catherine d of Richard (collier) and Anne Jones, Black Park

Thank you both for your efforts I really appreciate what you have found so far, it is helpful, and to know that the 1861 census has bits missing- I'll stop looking.
Not knowing the area makes it difficult.
I'll check the marriages that you suggest
 :) thank you

Thank you very much.  Delighted to be able to help.  It's great to knock down those brick walls.
Sorry the 1861 seems to be missing but your mystery was solved without it. 

Regards
Sandra  :)
