PARRY family - Anglesey

[Aussie Derek]

  Looking for any info. on the marriage of William Parry c 1804 Llechganfarwy & Elizabeth ? c 1804 Llanegryn. They had 8 Children -

Robert c 1829 Anglesey
William c 1831 Llandyfrdog
Henry c 1833 Llandfyfrdog
Margaret c 1837 Llandfyfrdog
Lewis 22 Apr 1838 Llanddeusant
Owen c 1840 Llantrisant
Elizabeth c 1845 Llantrisant
David c 1851 Llantrisant

From About 1851 to 1901 the family farmed at Fron Farm, Trewalchmal, Anglesey.

I do have all census details.

If you have any info. or are researching this family, no matter how small, it would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

Hi Derek,

I can't help you with your question, but I suspect we might have some sort of a connection.

My Great-Great Grandfather, James Smith, had parents Thomas Smith and Helen Parry. They married in early 1837 in Holyhead, unfortunately just missing civil registration, although the marriage is in the IGI.

It is suspected that Parry is not Helen's maiden name (she was born in approx 1803 in Beaumaris). She had a daughter, Matilda Helen Parry, born in approximately 1827. Matilda is shown on the 1851 census incorrectly as Matilda Smith. She went on to marry Jacob Mealing Mills in 1854 in West Derby, Liverpool.

Either Helen had been married before to a Mr Parry, or Matilda was illegitimate. These were actually fairly well-to-do types, that tended to have less illegitimacy.

Now, what leads me to suspect that we have a match is that according to the 1891 census, Matilda was born in Llandsaint, Angelsey. I suspect that this is an alternate spelling of Llanddeusant. (Incidentally, in 1861 her birth place is given as Llanheddi - I can't find anywhere named this and this may be a handwriting issue).

From what I can tell, Llanddeusant looks like a fairly small place, so if there are Parrys in that area, maybe they're related? Maybe your William Parry is Helen Parry's brother? Alternatively, maybe Helen's mysterious first husband is your William Parry's brother? Do you have any thoughts?

Thanks

hello, i was just wondering if you might have information on Parrys in Anglesey as my ancestor came from Anglesey he was called William and born abt 1784, i have him on both the 1841 and 1851 census where he just stated Anglesey as his place of birth, unfortunately he was no more specific than that  but i thought if you had already done research on Anglesey Parry's you might know he got married to Mary but she was born in Ysceifiog Flintshire. I would assume he came from a farming background as he was running a farm on 1841/1851. I have i think found some children for him Peter (my ancestor) b1812, Thomas b1813, Margaret b1814 and Hugh b1819.

Thanks for reading

Ps he was on the same farm by the birth of the children if you are interested it was Mertyn Farm in the parish of Whitford, Flintshire

You have two villages called by the same name but differant spellings we have Llanddeusant which is a good size village and we have  Llantrisant with about half dozen houses
