Did you have info about where Alice was born - I note on the 1871 that her place of birth was left blank. I've not followed up any further but, if she was in the broad Ruabon/Llangollen area, she might be in the records.

I have a few chapel lines but I was lucky that I inherited diaries and newspaper reports.

I did try a few newspapers but haven't found anything worthwhile about the Kerfoots. There might be something in the Welsh language ones.

 WR - have looked through all my Rhosymedre records and nothing showing so far.

Have you seen this one - it might not be Alice but it is worth mentioning.

1881
St Asaph Union Workhouse
RG11/5529/77/15
Alice Kerfoot, inmate, single, 58, Dom serv, b. Denbigh

Other Kerfoots there as well, inc John b.c. 1867, St Asaph

Hi Gadget,
I have only just seen this reply. This is my Alice, after her 'husband' Robert Kerfoot died she was sent to the workhouse with her two youngest children.
The search continues...

Many thanks for all your help thus far.

Hi Sooze

It's  been a while,  so I'm not sure what you now need. Is there any chance of updating your requirements, please?

Hi, nothing has changed really William Kerfoot remains my brick wall along with the marriage of his father and what I have presumed as his mother... Although you reminding me she went to the workhouse perhaps William was not her son! I have searched every William Kerfoot and jones on FindMyPast for the areas and dates, to no avail! Not sure how to proceed... I have his death, burial, marriage, but his birth evades me!

If he was illegitimate could he be one of the births simply registered as "boy" jones?
There are 3 for Corwen district and one for Wrexham between 1854-1858 on NorthWalewsBMD.

That is a possibility. He uses William Kerfoot for his marriage, but I know that names were slightly interchangeable then as his step daughter also did this...
I think I am going to have to get the parish records and trawl through them individually to see if I can find something that rings some bells...
I will investigate the boy jones on FindMyPast.
