1841 Census Wrexham lookup please
« on: Wednesday 08 March 23 18:21 GMT (UK) »
I am looking at a family that through 1851 to 1881 lived in Bridge Street Wrexham, number 22 on some returns
In 1851 the family is
John Roberts age 35 born Bala
Elizabeth Roberts age 29 born Wrexham (on future census she is born Chester)
David Roberts age 10 (in 1861 he is 22!)
Also daughter Margaret appears to have been born 1840 but is missing in 1851

Is anyone able to take a look at the 1841 and see if John and Elizabeth, maybe David and Margaret are there please

The 1841 census for Wrexham District is missing.
A part of Wrexham Town was found. 
You might find them here under the surname.

Thank you for the reply
I'm sorry I wasn't clearer, I knew the 1841 census was missing and was hoping someone who had access to the small part that had been found would take a look for me, Bridge St is very close to the town centre :)

I have the booklet that lists the Wrexham ones that were saved.

Who do you want to find?

Add - I see you've listed them. I'll have a look and report back  :)

I'm not finding them in Bridge Street or that area in 1841.

On the 1851, the children  after David are:

Margaret - 8,  Catherine - 6. Elizabeth - 4,  John - 3, Hugh 1

In 1861, the children look as if they are down as being born Ross (?Rhos or Rossett??) but them Wrexham in 1871!

Do you know  Elizabeth's maiden name and when they married?

Elizabeth's maiden name  appears to be Humphreys based on children in the census.

There are two families Roberts/Humphreys registering children in Wrexham 1839-1855.

A John Roberts married Elizabeth Humphreys 1837 registered Owestry

I don't see any parish or non-c baptisms for them to get location/address so Linda might have to get birth cert for David to give an indication of location/

The marriage of Dec 7 1837 was in Chirk , John was  22 and Elizabeth was 20. Fathers were David Roberts and William Humphries. Chirk was in the Oswestry Reg District at that time.

John is down as Wheelwright and Elizabeth a servant.   

I see that I have looked at the record before!

The address looks like Blaenu, Chirk for both.  Although I lived in the area for many years, I can't think of where that would be  :-\

Thank you
all of your posts about the family above are what I also have found, I'm looking at old maps now for anything that resembles Blaenu in the Chirk area, the 1841 would have been useful to confirm the ages of the 2 older children. They may have been elsewhere in Wrexham, thank you for looking for me
