Don't know if it's any use but there's a will for

"Edward PRYCE otherwise Price Parry" of Flintshire

Dated: 27 October 1821

Mentioned on this site:

(Hope that link works??)

In 1871 Ann was 58 and gave her birthpalce as Colywn, Denbighshire.

I've not been able to find any wills for George Rice Price Parry, George Rice Parry, George Price Parry...or any other variation I could think of.  I also had a quick look for any Rhys Parry varients on the database of National Library Wales hoping to find a link that way further back but to no avail

Lady Di - thanks... going off to look now

There are a couple of things perhaps to explore on the IGI:

Anne Elizabeth Parry, daughter of George and Ann, baptised at Holywell 14 Jun 1845 but died 4 Sep 1845 - although seemingly no other children to this couple recorded in that batch.

A marriage - George Price and Ann Owens, 21 Jan 1838, St Chad, Shrewsbury.

and a baptism:

George Rice Price Owen, baptised 11 Sep 1812, St Matthew, Douglas, Isle of Man, son of John & Ann.

[Lazylover]

Thanks for those. If the baptism is correct i wonder where the Parry came from?

The will looks promising, from what little i can read... states Edward Pryce Parry from Tryddyn near Mold.... which is where my family are from and have strong links to.

Im at work at the mo and the web filter has kicked in, ill be able to get back on at 2.30. Until then access is over my phone so please bear with me!

Richard those look promising
the marriage and George bp. were they submitted or extracted records
if they were submitted you woudl think the person who submitted them had checked the original document but it may best to double check  

[RichardK]

All extracted records except the Shrewsbury marriage, which doesn't specify.

The baptism on the Isle of Man could conceivably tie in with the marriage of John Owen and Ann Parry on 27 Jan 1815 at Penllech, Caernarfonshire (another extracted record) - maybe having been born before his parents' marriage he took his mother's maiden name as his surname?  Admittedly there's a fair bit of travelling involved in this theory, although we do know already that he travelled from the Isle of Man to Wales.

Thanks for those, I've had a look on the LDS London site and they have the microfilms on site so I should be able to get a look at them fairly easily.

Unfortuantely the marriage in Penllech is recorded in the Bishop's Transcripts but will be worth looking at none the less.

Does anyone have any idea's how or why someone would travel from the Isle of Man to North Wales?

will for

"Edward PRYCE otherwise Price Parry" of Flintshire

Dated: 27 October 1821

Hi Lady Di

I've had more of a look through and it mentions Edward Pryce Parry having estates in Flintshire and Denbighshire, which he appears to be leaving to his brother Peter Parry. He also mentions a sister Elizabeth, who is married to a John Davis Esquire of Llys, Flintshire and his late father Edward Parry.

.... so it doesn't look like he's mine after all.

I have wondered if my great granddad travelled over to the IOM during his stay in Bangor.  His son died in Bangor in 1883 and he turned up there in 1892 ish.  Someone mentioned the link to me and it did look feasible that he could quite easily of travelled over to the IOM for a visit.

Hope it helps.
