Chirk Parish Records(18th century)[Wales]: Evan Davies of Chirk

[Davies-or-cydlifiad]

I am looking for someone who can access the Chirk Parish Records [1602-2004] which are held at the Denbighshire Archive Service.

I am unfortunately in Australia, so short of getting on a plane and going to Wales, it seems I have hit a dead end in my family tree research as Ancestry does not have Parish Records from Chirk pre-1845.

I am looking into information about a Evan Davies of Chirk who married a May/Mary Roberts in St Martin's, Shropshire in May, 1751, who appear to have had a son - Robert Davies, just 5 months later in October, 1751. Who I believe is the father of 'Robert Davies of the Rock' born. 1773. (Previously discussed here: https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=746475.0 and here: https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=746417.0

If anyone is able to access the Chirk Parish Records to find Evan and his possible parents I would be eternally grateful, and if anyone is aware of a service that would help, I am more than willing to pay.

I have a feeling Chirk is quite important to the Davies story pre 1750, as 'Chirk Bank', 'Chirk', and the nearby 'Cefn Mawr' are all common places in later generations.
