Hi,
I'm trying to find the marriage details of John Wright b. c.1825 and Hannah Griffiths, please. I think it's in 1846. I'm trying to find the father of John Wright as there were about 3 Johns born in Hawarden around then and that's the best plan i have! My gr.gr grandfather was their son, William b. 1862. Thank you!

I'd meant to say, it would probably worth checking the census page in Ewloe Lane from 1841, lots of Dickinsons, probably relatives of Sarah.

Marriage 27 Dec 1790 for William Dickinson & Sarah Hewitt.
