I have a copy of the probate and it was John Thomas of LLanrhaeadr ym Mochnant  Yeoman.

I will check the National Library Site.

Thanks again.

Hello all

This is a very confusing thread, so not sure if this helps, but the only Robert Edwards in mid 1740s that I can see from the Wrexham St Giles baptisms 1730-1756 is

Dec 14, 1744 EDWARDS Robert s/o Edw (Shoem) of W.R. (Wrexham Regis)

Hi

Thank you for checking the Wrexham records for Robert Edwards and finding an entry for 1744.  If you have the parish records for Wrexham I would be grateful if you could check if there is a marriage for Robert and Jane (surname could be Roberts). Robert and Jane's children were born at Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog but so far we can find no trace of the marriage.  Their first child Anne was born 1760.

I've checked the Wrexham marriages by banns and licence and there doesn't seem to be any marriages that fit.  If the Robert Edwards found baptized in 1744 was your Robert and his first child was baptized in 1760, then I would suggest this is stretching the boundaries of credibility.  In essence that he married and fathered a child at age 15? 

Have you tried a search of the North Wales Marriage Index?  Either online through Genfair or at the Clwyd FHS resource centre.

Hi all

I have asked Genfair to see if they can trace anything on the North Wales Marriage Index. Will let you know when I get their reply.

Hi Gadget and Annun

I checked with the Genfair site and they produced the following:-

1756 Eglwysbach - ROBERT EDWARDS/JANE THOMAS
1757 Llanddoged - ROBERT EDWARDS/JANE THOMAS
1755 Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd - ROBERT EDWARDS/JANE ROBERTS
1757 Betws Gwerful Goch - ROBERT EDWARDS/JANE DAVIES
1756 Llandderfel - ROBERT EDWARDS/JANE HUGHES
1762 Llandysilio - ROBERT EDWARDS/JANE DAVIES
1758 Pennant - ROBERT EDWARDS/JANE EVANS
1760 Holyhead - ROBERT EDWARDS/JANE GABRIEL

Do you think either  of these could be a possibility?  As I mentioned in an earlier posting the name John Thomas was mentioned in the Bond on Roberts death, who could have been a brother of Jane or her father, and the name Roberts is given in the LLanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog Parish records.   What do you think?

Oh dear - none of them look very promising 

I wonder if Shropshire might be an alternative search area.

 The Land owners in LLanarmon were Frederick West of Ruthin castle,and Watkin Williams Wynn,of Wynstay Ruabon.
 Robert & Jane's home "Migin" was in Llanarmon D.C parish, and "Tyn y Fedw" Edward & Jane's home,was in the parish of Llansilin,Edward was Robert's brother. Robert and Janes children appear in some records with their names as Jane Robert,Edward Robert, so do Elin,Anne,and Mary .........One of Morris & Jane's grandsons and his family emigrated to the U.S.A,and I have found their descendant's now living in Springfield Massachusetts.Regards Annun
