Joseph Williams 1792-1849 Gresford/Rossett

[MadMazzy]

Any help with the Wrexham 1841 census please?  I'm looking for Joseph Williams 1792-1849 and his wife Margaret Williams 1796-1848 who were living in Gresford/Rossett in 1841.  Would like to know names of their children please?  Thanks to anyone able to assist with this.

Here is the link to the 1841 which is free from www.familysearch.org

https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1493745

You need to be aware that ages from 16yrs onwards were rounded down to the neares 5yrs (eg) somebody who was actually 18 in 1841 would be shown as 15

Also - given their respective birthyears - any children may have "flown the nest" by 1841

As Cas has said, a large portion of the wider Wrexham area is missing.

This link give a listing. You'll need to scroll through the various areas. Not all are listed as some of the areas are only missing in part.

Those of us with ancestors in this area have had to use other records to try to build a picture. 

A set of transcripts for  the Wrexham town area was published by Clwyd FHS. This gives  brief listing but not very much detail. I have a copy oif this but as you want Gresford/Rossett, it wouldn't help.
