Miners Arms,Afonwen?? **COMPLETED**

It doesn't look as if he had any to be honest. I suspect he was illegitimate as i have him aged 5 living with another mother in 1851, Mary Williams aged 70. Maybe putting his father down on Marriage Cert. was a bit of a cover up but nothing explains where the Ellis comes from other than that.

Sounds like a record office job, denbighshire records office hold copies of all flintshire records

Hi Guys just to let you all know that i have now found out that The Miners Arms was in fact The Sportsmans in Afonwen and the answer was staring me right in my face on the 1881 census.

Robert Parry's wife Anne Parry (Hughes) was living as a publican at the Sportsmans and it seems her Son-in-law took over as head.

Thanks for all your responses and i have now kicked myself and drew a huge sigh of relief

hi there,just to let you know ,the link added earlier for "sportsmans terrace",are cottages that lie at the back of what was the sportmans pub.
the sportmans pub,is now 3 houses,and has been added to here and there,but is basically the same as it would have been.
it closed in the 1980's,and had a hell of a good reputation locally,it was once on the post/stage route,, it lies just off th mold/denbigh road.

This thread has been super helpful. I had relatives in the Sportsman Terrace.

Did we decide the terrace buildings had gone as well as the pub?

I might take a drive around, just to see the area anyway.

Hey all

I'm really interested in finding out more about the miners arms / sportsmans inn. This thread has been really useful so far. Does anyone have any additional information or photographs?

Thanks
