Look ups at Flintshire Records Office

[MarieC]

Hi Paul,

Have just come across your kind offer.  As I'm an Aussie, it would be brilliant if you could check the following for me:

On the 1881 census, I have my widowed gggrandmother Mary Martin living with her son, the Rev. William Lockwood Martin, then Vicar of Bettisfield, in the dwelling Arrowry in Hanmer, Flints.

Three questions:

1.  Could you check to see if there is a burial of Edward Martin, Mary's husband, in Hanmer in around 1873/1874?  If so and you can give me details, I can send for the death certificate.

2.  Does the Flintshire Record Office have any property details that tell us whether the Martins bought, or were renting, the dwelling Arrowry?

2.  I presume Hanmer is close to Bettisfield - is it?

Thanks,

MarieC

Hi again Paul

Would you mind looking in the local newspapers, if they have the Chester Chronicle or Flintshire Leader for 1904 please?

James Lamb, 57, a greengrocer from Buckley died at the Infirmary, Chester after falling from a cart on Daisy Hill on 7th October 1904. There was an inquest at Chester on 7th.

I've made enquiries but it seems the records have not been kept so I wondered if it had been reported in the local newspaper. Thanks Jean

Hi Marie,
A note in the index of Parish Records for Hanmer;
Two Regesters lost Church destroyed by fire in1889.
Burials 1784, Marriages 1787-1813 former replaced by Burials from Bishop's transcripts now held at Chester Records Office.
Burials from 1856-84 and Marriages 1837-88 also disappeared.

If you have another look on the 1881 Census for Mary and William.... have a look at previous and next Household
there are several dwellings called Arrowry. I think it must have been a row and not just one dwelling.

Hanmer is close to Bettisfield, they always come next to each other on the Census

Sorry I could not help.

Paul.

Hi Paul,

Thank you very much for trying, anyway!  It is disappointing, but can't be helped.

Just had a thought.  I don't suppose he could have been buried from the Bettisfield church where William was Vicar?  Next time you are at the Records Office, could you check that?  Just my last hope....!

I was working from the LDS transcription of 1881 so didn't realise about the adjoining dwellings also being Arrowry.  This is interesting, as is also your confirmation of the proximity of Hanmer and Bettisfield.

Thanks again,

Marie

Hello Fifer,
Had a look for the Baptism of Mary Morris Father Richard but unfortunately could not find Her.
I did find Edward Morris son of Richard & Mary Morris Baptized 8 November 1829. Richard was a Plasterer.
Did she have a Brother Edward?
 
Paul.

Hi Paul

Hi have just found this site, and wonder if you can work a miracle for me?  I am searching for my Callaghan family from around Liverpool / St helens.  Have John Patrick Callaghan who is shown as born Flint/Liverpool/Ireland, depending on which census you want to look at. around 1844.

What would really help is if you can find the birth of his son Thomas Callaghan b. C 1866 Flint Flintshire.  Mother Phoebe (Scotland???)

Have a marriage cert for Phoebe Scotland and John Patrick for October 1865 in Liverpool. but not too sure if I am on the wrong track altogether.

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
