Have found the marriage of Charles Edwards and Ellinor Thomas on April 18th 1814 at Gresford.  The reason it was at Gresford is that Charles was the butler and Ellinor was a housemaid at Erddig Hall and Erddig was in the parish of Gresford.   In 1822 he ceased to be the butler and became a farmer on the Erddig estate.     Bryngoleu and Sontley were part of the Erddig  estate.     Charles parents were Ellis Edwards and Susannah Cheetham,  married at Marchwiel in 1779. They had 4 children,including Charles who was baptised on Sep 27th 1786 at Hanmer. Their abode was Halghton, which is midway between Overton and Hanmer.                                       
Ellinor Thomas parents were William Thomas and Mary Davies, married at Llandrillo yn Rhos, near Colwyn Bay, in 1782.  They had 5 children,including Ellinor who was baptised at Llandrillo yn Rhos Jun 28th 1789.   
About Thomas Cheetham and Anne Edwards who are my 2x great grandparents.  They both have the same great grandparents ie William Cheetham born 1704 and Sarah born 1708 in Bangor on Dee.
I have more information if you are interested.

Amazing , I ( and others) spent quite a bit of time trying to help Linda, and I know she did a lot of work  herself.
I for one would like to know more.  Thanks for all this extra detail.

I'm wondering whether there might be a Mary Edwards connected to this family.She married a John Hanmer at Wrexham Parish Church in 1797.John Hanmer and Mary Edwards are my Greatx3-Grandparents.All of John and Mary's children were born in Overton.
