That’s fantastic thanks Owltalk.
My mum is visiting the area soon, this is great to see.

Didn't find anything that looks like that!
There is a row of houses one of which is The Old White Lion. A lot of the houses on that row have been knocked together to make somewhere larger. The Post office referred to earlier in non existent. Some are in the process of being restored. Tegwen & Gwalia mentioned in an earlier post still exist
If anyone in Llansilin knows whether there are any graves in the chapel grounds I would like to know

Hi Steve , can you tell me when your relation was first seen on census for the Bake House or so you have any birth record for her. Details you have would be a great help .
Thanks a lot p.s hope your mum enjoys her visit.  I did the pub is good

None of the photos taken above don't seem to have anything to do with the bake house.
I was told it was inbetween a couple of the houses in the row where The Old White Lion and Gwalia are.

The info I was given when I was there was the Bake house had been demolished but when I got home the chap I had spoken with very kindly sent me a photo of it prior to it happening, it looked very much like the one shown in the photos displayed, the group involved with the history of Llansillan realising what was happening had taken as many pics of the area as they could. I have it in my records I know but at the moment it will take a while. You could try contacting the history society for the village, they were more than helpful to me and met me in the church with all records and could not have been kinder, the time and effort they have made in documenting everything is amazing, they even gave me info on family further afield.

Just to back liverbirds's comment about the Llansilin History Group and Chris. He was so very helpful when I needed help on my Llansilin ancestors and their abodes all those few years ago.

Hi Liverbird
You asked for some details of my ancestor so here goes:
Here are the records I’ve got for Anne Jones.

One of the problems I’ve had is with the inconsistent ages / date of birth in some of these records, but I can’t see it could be any other possibility.

1835 Baptism
Baptised in Llansilin church 13 Sep 1835 to Richard & Mary Jones he is a Labourer

1841 Census
Ann Jones aged 6 Llansilin village with
Richard (38) Ag Labourer, Mary (36), Mary & Martha (12), Sarah (9), Benjamin (3) and John Rogers (82) - this is Ann’s maternal grandad.

1851 Census
Ann is no longer living at home with parents.
The family is listed as living at the Bake House, Llansilin - Richard (55) farmers labourer, Mary (46), Richard (5), Mariah (7), David (2).

I think I found Ann in the 1851 census living at Pridd Brwll / Pridd Broll (Salop) working as a general servant. Age 15.

Marriage record.
Married 21 December 1858. Llansilin Parish Church to Edward Davies. Resident in Llansilin father is Richard Jones (Labourer).

1861 Census
Ann now married is with husband Edward Davies living in Scrwgan Cottage with 2 year old daughter Mary-Ann. Her age is listed as 24 here, her name is spelt Anne.

In 1871 and 1881 they have moved to Pen Gorphwysfa / Pengerphusper in Llanfyllin.

Their daughter Martha Davies is my Gt Gt Grandmother.

I found Richard & Mary’s marriage record (1832 in Llansilin). Going back further I couldn’t find much out about Richard Jones (Ann’s father) supposedly born in Llangollen. But I did trace Mother Mary (Rogers) down - born and baptised on 29 April 1804 (Llangynog, Mont.) parents John & Sarah Rogers. Sarah was buried in Llangynog (1838), the details say she was 78 and living somewhere called ‘Bron Garregog’. John was buried in Llansilin (1841). That’s about as far as I got. I couldn’t trace their marriage or births/origins.
