Wilcoxon,

This is interesting.  Thank you for sharing.  Where does it say her name was Dorothy Pool?  I just see the name Morris.

Hello Again!  I wish I did have an update, but I had a baby of my own and so that has taken up all of my genealogy time thus far...I need to get researching this Poole family again

Hello fellow Poole researchers!

I have some wonderful news to share with all of you!  This past week I went to the geneology library and I made some great discoveries!  I found Peter Poole's birth record along with most of his siblings and the names of his parents.  The information is as follows:

John Pool (of Whitford parish) married Elizabeth Roberts (of Dyserth parish)
5 Aug 1781 @ Dyserth ..... these are Peter Poole's parents

children I have found so far:

John Pool, born: 9 May 1782 @ Dyserth/died: 12 May 1782 @ Dyserth
Peter Pool, born: 20 Nov 1783 @ Dyserth/baptized: 23 Nov 1783 @ Dyserth
Sarah Pool, born: 23 Oct 1786 @ Dyserth/baptized: 29 Oct 1786 @ Dyserth
John Pool, born: 4 Nov 1790 @ Dyserth/baptized: 7 Nov 1790 @ Dyserth/buried: 5 May 1833 @ Newmarket
Robert Pool, born: 13 Nov 1794 @ Dyserth/baptized 15 Nov 1794 @ Dyserth/died: 19 Jan 1798 @ Gwaenysgor
Joshua Pool, baptized: 29 Oct 1797 @ Gwaenysgor
Jane Pool, baptized: 2 Jun 1803

The family is listed as living at Trecastell, Dyserth parish.  The father John Pool's occupation when Peter was born was listed as a farmer, however, when the other's were born he was listed as a miner.  John Pool, the son of John and Elizabeth was also listed as a miner when he died in 1833.  I have some more information on Sarah Pool's husband and her children as well as Joshua Pool's wife and his children if any of you want that also.

llessur,

I was so glad to get your reply!  How interesting!  My best guess is that your John Poole is the one that I have found in the 1841 census.  The parish he is living in is Whitford, the hundred is Coleshill, and the township is Uwch Glanisa or Glan Isa (I couldn't quite tell).  On the 1841 census it says that John is a miner and that John, Charlotte, and their 3 children were all born in the county (Flintshire).  Again it lists his age as 30 in 1841 (they often rounded in the 41 census I have discovered).  I did find some marriage information for John and Charlotte.  They were married June 16, 1832 I think in Newmarket but I can't remember and forgot to write it down.  John it said was born in Newmarket and Charlotte was born in Whitford  (this would explain why he lived in Whitford at the 1841 census).  I did find more children of theirs also.  They are as follows:

Jane, born 24 Sept 1832 @ Whitford
Joseph, born 11 Oct 1834 @ Llanasa OR Intogmn
Elizabeth, born 17 Sept 1838 @ Whitford
Easter, christened 4 Dec 1842 @ Whitford
Sarah, christened 5 Apr 1846 @ Whitford
Mary Ann, born OR christened 4 Sept 1849 @ Whitford

Do you know if any of these children are listed as your John Poole's children?

The other John Poole that I know of is a John Poole of Gwaenyspar who married Elizabeth.  The only thing that I know about this couple is that they had a son named Joshua, baptized 29 Oct 1797, and a daughter named Jane, baptized 2 Jun 1803.  I am sure this couple had more children either before Joshua or after Jane but I have not been able to find them.  I think that this John is a brother to Peter Poole (mentioned in the past posts) because he is also from Gwaenyspar.  My best guess is that my Anne Poole and your John Poole are either John and Elizabeth's children or Peter and Hester's.  I have a hunch that your John and my Anne are siblings, if not then first cousins.  Anne Poole married John Roberts 15 Dec 1827 at Newmarket.  One of their sons Christopher Roberts is my 2x great-grandfather.  Since his mother died when he was very young he and the brothers were sent to live with Peter Poole and Hester.  Christopher is listed as living with them during the 1851 census along with 2 of his brothers.  The problem is that they are listed as nephews to Peter Poole.  I don't know if they are really nephews (which means that John  & Elizabeth could be their grandparents) or if they are really grandchildren.  Christopher immigrated to America when he was in his early 20s and from all accounts that I know of he does not say who his grandparents are on either side of his family line.  So, this is my dilemma, to find Anne's birth record and to find out who her parents really are.  One other side note:  there is a Sarah Jones (formerly Poole) and a Robert Roberts who witnessed the marriage of Anne Poole to John Roberts.  The witnesses to Peter Poole and Hester Owens marriage were listed as Robert Roberts and Sarah Poole (not yet married).  I think that Sarah is a sister to Peter Poole and John Poole and an aunt to Anne.  As far as the Robert Roberts is concerned I am not sure what to make of that! 

Sincerely,
Mary
