Yes, I have traced the connection of the two families, Ruabon and Birmingham, on Ancestry and have it in my family tree on there.
Also got copies of the papers that were placed in Flintshire archives by William Kenrick Minshall with correspondence relating to the family tree.
I think there was a diary that Sarah Savage Kenrick kept, an old Hawking glove that belonged to the Kenricks etc.
The Minshall family and Kenrick family had been moving in the same circles for years, both families were non-conformist.
On one tree it is alleged that the Kenrick family were descendants of the Hanmers and therefore possibly a link to Owain Glyndwr?
They certainly lived in the Hanmer area.

Joseph Chamberlain married Harriet Kenrick then her sister Florence.

Yes, Samuel Llewellyn Kenrick was the founder of the Welsh FA and played in it and several games at Left back.

He organised the first Welsh international match and is on Wiki.

There is a plaque on the wall in the Wynnstay in Ruabon where the FA was formed.

Llewellyn was a spectator at a match in Blackburn when one player missed the train-  the following extract from William Pierce Owen-

'Upon closer inspection I found it was Llewelyn Kenrick of Ruabon. He was dressed in long tweed trousers, wore ordinary boots and sported a smart Oxford shirt. He played with the utmost vigour until unfortunately his knee gave way and once more Wales had only ten men on the field'

I have been looking into the Minshall family of Oswestry for some years now.

Llewellyn's sister married Thomas Edward Minshall. They were the grandparents of Merlin Minshall also on Wiki.

Hi Tracie
We have messaged previously.
Since we last contacted I have found a little more info regarding your Minshall originally Minshull.
