LazyLovers Scavenger Hunt...Everyone Welcome To Join In

Shame about the marriage, although that was always a bit more of a long shot - worth eliminating though.

The 1881 census does look interesting - and is that birth place actually given as NK North Wales, Rhos?  If that's Rhos on Sea (Llandrillo yn Rhos) in Denbighshire, it's pretty much the same place as Ann gave as her place of birth - indeed, Colwyn was once part of the parish of Rhos.  Perhaps having been born on the Isle of Man he was brought up in Rhos?  I also note from Genuki that there are no extracted entries on the IGI from this parish.

Or, is it Rhes?  Rhes-y-Cae, Flintshire is just south of Holywell and the 1851 census has a Peter Parry, Tailor aged 83 living there - HO107/2501/55/5.

I'm going to have to get to Hawarden or Ruthin Record office if i want to look this up....or hope that someone on the other boards can look

As usual, this Hunt will remain open for any further information which may come in.

Paul kindly looked in the archieves back home for me with the hope of identifying Ann Owens;

the only one I could see around that time in Llandrillo yn Rhos.

March 16 1806 Anne Owen d/o Richard & Mary. Mynydd Mochdre.

Does anyone have any ideas how I would go about confirming if this was my Ann?

[RichardK]

You'll probably be hard pushed to confirm that one in the absence of her marriage certificate - and even if you do find that it'll probably be before civil registration and so won't actually confirm her father's name.  The fact that none of the children we're aware of that Ann had with George Rice Price Parry were called either Richard or Mary doesn't look promising.  You could try trawling through any Owen(s) wills from Llandrillo yn Rhos at the National Library of Wales website?  On the slightly more favourable side, Mynydd Mochdre (which I assume is in the vicinity of Mynydd Lane running from Mochdre to Colwyn) appears to be fairly close to Colwyn, so is at least not out of the question.
