Denbighshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1841 and 1851 Census, Elizabeth Morris, Llansilin
« on: Thursday 17 March 05 00:36 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Lee - -   They lived in the town (village) of Llansilin, proper.   So most likely the one sub-district that you've cut and pasted into your message as "Llansilir" is meant to be "Llansilin".   Thats the one I would look for Elizabeth Morris.    Thank-you so very much,    Carol

Cork / Delia Waldon & William Murphy - Advice needed
« on: Sunday 13 March 05 18:44 GMT (UK)  »
I am starting a search for Bridget /Delia Waldon and William Murphy.  They would have immigrated from Ireland to Ohio, U.S. between 1855-1858.  It is unknown where in Ireland they came from, however family memory is that they came from County Cork, (unverified).  All their children appear to have been born in the US, so they would have immigrated as a young couple (assuming they didn't meet in the US and get married.)  William Murphy had a profession of Plasterer.  Given such limited information, where would you suggest a start searching records in County Cork?  I must admit to feeling dismayed with this difficult task, but hope to get lucky.  Thank you very much in advance for any advice you can give me.   Carol

Dublin / Advice needed on Dublin record search
« on: Sunday 13 March 05 18:29 GMT (UK)  »
I have very limited information on Ellen (Eleanor) Cole - - in the 1851 Liverpool Census, she reports her birthplace as "Dublin, Ireland".  She was 28 years old, making her birth year about 1823.   Her father's name (per her marriage certificate) is James Cole.   This is my first venture into Irish genealogy.   I'd greatly appreciate pointers on areas to search that may be most fruitful.   I understand that Dublin is both a County and a City.  Can/should I make assumptions about what she meant by reporting her birthplace as Dublin?   At some point, she first immigrated from Dublin to the City of Chester, in Cheshire County.  Is there any link between the two cities and immigration? 

 Thank-you VERY much in advance for advice in directing my initial search.    Carol

Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Francis Owen(s) in the 1841 Census - City of Chester
« on: Sunday 13 March 05 18:16 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Peter,     I don't have much information.   Ellen (Eleanor) Cole was living in "St Mary's Parish" according to the marriage certificate.  Unfortunately,  Francis Owens' residence is shown as Liverpool.   So it sounds like a long-shot that he might have been residing in St. Mary's Parish in the 1841 census for Chester.  Carol

Denbighshire Lookup Requests / 1841 and 1851 Census, Elizabeth Morris, Llansilin
« on: Sunday 13 March 05 04:25 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for Elizabeth Morris in the 1841 and 1851 census - Llansilin.

She would have been about 8/9 in the 1841 census and living in Llansilin with her parents, Edward and Elizabeth Morris.

She would have been about 18/19 in the 1851 census and still living in Llansilin. 

Thank-you very much in advance for any help you can provide.    Carol

Montgomeryshire Lookup Requests / 1841 /1851 Census, David Davies, Llanwddyn
« on: Sunday 13 March 05 04:22 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for David Davies, born in Llanwddyn (now Lake Vyrnnwy) in both the 1841 and 1851 Census. 

In 1841, he would have been about 14/15 years old. His parents are most likely Elizabeth and John Davies. 

In 1851 he would have been about 24/25 years old.   He would have been a labourer. 

If he is not in Llanwddyn in the 1851 census, he may have moved over to Llansilin area, as he married in 1852 and lived in Llansilin with his new in-laws (Edward & Elizabeth Morris).  I know that is in Denbighshire and will check there next. 

Thank you very much in advance for any help you can provide.   Carol

Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / Francis Owen(s) in the 1841 Census - City of Chester
« on: Saturday 12 March 05 15:02 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for Francis Owen(s) in the 1841 census.  He would be about age 22 and possibly have an occupation of wheelwright or saddler.   

He was married up in the City of Chester in 1845,  to Ellen (Eleanor) Cole so hoping he arrived in Chester from Wales in time for the 1841 census.

His father's name may also be Francis Owen and his mother may be Margaret.  Siblings may include Margaret, Harriet, George, and Richard.  I've not yet confirmed these names.

Thank-you VERY much in advance for any assistance you can provide.   Carol

Flintshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1841 Census - Hanmere Area - Francis Owen(s)
« on: Sunday 06 March 05 22:32 GMT (UK)  »
Paul - Thanks much for the look-up.  I'll file away the John Owen, occupation of saddler, as a possible relative since I'm hoping the profession stayed in the family.   Carol

Flintshire Lookup Requests / 1841 Census - Hanmere Area - Francis Owen(s)
« on: Sunday 27 February 05 18:21 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for Francis Owen(s) in the 1841 census.  He would be about age 22 and possibly have an occupation of wheelwright or saddler.   

I am searching the Hanmere area,  since he states he was born in Hanmere in the 1881 census.   (He was married up in the City of Chester in 1845, so that will be my next search area if no luck here.)     

His father's name may also be Francis Owen and his mother may be Margaret.  Siblings may include Margaret, Harriet, George, and Richard.  I've not yet confirmed these names.

Thank-you VERY much in advance for any assistance you can provide.   Carol
