Hi fellow researchers,
I wanted to find out when Easter was in 1857, so I did a search for a web
site which would give an ecclesiastical calendar for any year. This is it:
http://www.smart.net/~mmontes/ec-cal.html
Not only does it work very well, it also gives the dates for the Julian and
Gregorian Calendars and for the Western and Orthodox Churches.
Hope you get some use out of it.

Dear List
I posted a request a week or so ago for anyone who may know the location of
Cloughs Row in St Asaph. I then got a computer worm and have only just
managed to get rid of it so I don't know if anyone replied.
Grateful for any help

I'm new to the Flintshire list and looking for help, please? I am trying to find information about my grandfather William Henry NASH who I understand was either born, or came from Caergwrle near Mold in Flintshire. He joined the army during WW1 and marched from North Wales down into Hampshire where he met and married my grandmother Lilly May FUTCHER in about 1914/15. They then settled in Hampshire and had 4 children. Unfortunately William Henry died in a tragic accident during his mid 30's.
My sister (now in her 50's) remembers staying in the Caergwrle/Mold area as a child and that there were several of his relatives still there - she remember that one of them had a butcher's shop.
Any help would be appreciated. This is my first step towards researching my mother's side of the family. I've been an avid subscriber to the Oxford list on Rootsweb for several years researching my father's family. If I have half as much success on the Flintshire list as I've had on the Oxford list, I'd be extremely pleased.
Thanks.

Dear Sian,
There may be no coincidence at all in our mutual travels around these
genealogy mailing lists.
I too have a HILL in my direct line which I have been trying to find.
I know that Thomas and Ann HILL were the parents of Mary HILL who married
Emmanuel MERCHANT in Derby in 1850. Thomas and Ann are my 3X great
grandparents. I have found their graves in Derby but their MI and burial
records don't tell me where they were born. And I have not found their
marriage record, which would probably be around 1820-1825.
The following is the MI for them:
In affectionate remembrance of
Thomas HILL
who died Oct. 14th, 1875
aged 76 years
"Prepare to meet thy God
for in such an hour as ye thing not,
The Son of Man cometh."
______________
also of Ann HILL
relict of the above
born November 18th 1797
died September 25th 1883
O' Death where is thy sting?
O' Grave, where is thy victory?"
______________________________
Both are buried in the one grave in Uttoxeter New Road Cemetery.
The one thing I do know is that Thomas was a Publican at the Rowditch Inn on
Uttoxeter Road in Derby from about 1850 until his death 1875. Their
daughter Mary MERCHANT ran the pub after her father died until her death.
You are right in thinking that you have seen me on all of those lists. I
have been there and a few more.
Just in case there are others looking around half the countryside for
relatives, the following is my list:
MERCHANT, Emmanuel born ???, married Mary HILL 1850 in Derby his father was
Thomas, a farmer where ???
HILL, Thomas and Ann born???, married ??? died in Derby
PARRY, John born 1825 North Wales, probably Holywell, father of Edwin PARRY
born Dec 1852 Holywell
JONES, Edward and Ellen, farmer, Creccas, Flintshire, parents of Jemima
JONES b. 1825, married to John PARRY in 1846, Whitford
BURDIS, Elizabeth Ann, born abt 1856 in Sunderland, Durham married to Edwin
PARRY in Durham in 1872.
PARRY, William b. April, 1881 Windy Nook, Felling, Durham married Isabella
Late JONES formerly NOBLE in 1899. Looking for any info on Isabella and her
family. She was a 38 year old widow when she married my 18 year old
grandfather. They both lied about their ages and said they were both 21.
WOOLLEY, James (b. Hanbury, Staffordshire 1825 and Susannah WINFIELD (b.
Wakefield YORKS abt. 1825) parents of William James WOOLLEY born 1859 Barton
under Needwood, Staffs. married Louisa MERCHANT abt 1882 in Derby
CALLOWHILL, James born 1802 St. Lukes, Middlesex ( my 3X great grandfather),
father of William, who emigrated to Canada April 9, 1857 with his new bride,
Elizabeth REED.
CALLOWHILL, James born 1810 Worcester??? (a cousin??) father of James and
Scott Thomas, two famous painters at the Royal Worcester factory. They both
emigrated to America about 1883.
trying to link back to Hannah CALLOWHILL of Bristol, 2nd wife of William
PENN and her father, Thomas CALLOWHILL, a Bristol Merchant and button
manufacturer
CLARK Jabez b. Newport, Rhode Island March 19, 1769 ( parents Elisha CLARK
and Desire Gardner???) They were United Empire Loyalists who came to New
Brunswick after the American Revolutionary War in 1783, then to Ontario in
1811. If I can prove that these are Jabez' parents, I have a direct line
back to a John CLARK(e) from Westhorpe, Suffolk, England b. 1541 whose
great grandson emigrated to America in 1640 and was one of the founders of
the Commonwealth of Rhode Island.
RHEAUME, Rene born Paris 1642 emigrated to Quebec 1663 married there in
1665. Every RHEAUME is Canada is related to this one man. I have his
direct line right to the present for my branch. He is my 8th great
grandfather.
TAYLOR, Ellis Upton, born Bollington near Macclesfield, Chesire, about 1802.
Was Registrar of Births and Deaths for Stockport RD. My husband's 2X great
grandfather. Died 1897 in Bredbury, Lancs. His granddaughter, Nancy
TAYLOR, married
LOCKLEY, William a ship's carpenter (b. abt 1859 Rugeley Staffs.) in Simcoe,
Ontario in 1885. We know they were both in the 1881 census in England. We
have not yet found out when they emigrated.
STEWART, Samuel b. abt. 1860 Bailieborough Co. Cavan Ireland my husband's
grandfather
MC CAMIS, Mary Jane born abt 1869 Bailieborough, Co. Cavan, Ireland, my
husband's grandmother, married to Samuel Stewart here in Hamilton, Ontario
in 1889. No idea when Sam emigrated. Mary Jane came in April 1883 with her
parents and siblings.
My parents along with my husband and me have been searching for the past
four years, which has included four trips to England and Wales and two trips
to Ireland. We are now back to the early 1800 on all sides and we may just
stop there, especially with the Irish side, as most of those records were
destroyed and it is so hard to even find any evidence of when and where
people have lived in Ireland.
Another MERCAHNT cousin has a line in Gloucester with HILLs in that family,
so the name certainly keeps cropping up. Perhaps we may find a link
eventually.
Kindest regards,

Dear Bart,
The transcription I had was definitely Wibnant. There were other children
to these parents:
page 122, no. 978, July 10, 1825
John son of Edward and Elizabeth JONES, Wibnant, Gardener, by Edward
ROBERTS, vicar of the Parish Church of Whitford.
page 144, no. 1153, July 15, 1827
Charles son of Edward and Elizabeth JONES, Wibnant, Labourer, by Edward
Roberts, Vicar of the Parish Church of Whitford
I looked through my records and did find another spelling of Gwybnant where
a John JONES, who was a miller, and his wife Susanna had a daughter, Mary,
baptised on March 25, 1835 (page 209, no. 1666)
I also found the following burials:
David JONES, Wibnant, April 14, 1823, age 2 yr., by Edward ROBERTS, vicar of
the Parish Church of Whitford (page 66, no. 526)
Thomas JONES, Gwibnant, buried June 7, 1834, age 54 yrs., by Edward Roberts,
vicar of the Parish Church of Whitford ( page 155, no. 1238)
Those are all the references I have to Wibnant/Gwibnant/Gwybnant in my
records.
I hope this has been of some help.

Dear Trevor,
I have looked through all of my records from Holywell and Whitford and did
not find any Peter and Elizabeth JONES having children baptized. Actually,
Peter was not a very common first name in Flintshire at that time.
My Whitford records are both for PARRY and JONES and your JONES family
definitely were not there.
My Holywell records are primarily PARRY, as I know my JONES relatives came
from Whitford. I only have a few JONES records in Holywell, primarily Johns
and Edwards, as those were the two JONES names which have come up in my
research.
I can only suggest that you rent the film from the LDS, because I know there
were lots of JONES names listed in the Holywell Parish Church. I didn't
record them as I didn't feel they were relevant to my research at the time.
Why did they marry twice? Were they non-conformist? I only transcribed
PARRY entries for the non-conformist registers, so they may be lurking in
there.
Sorry I didn't have them in my transcriptions for you. Perhaps someone else
on the list may be able to help you.
Kindest regards,
Anne Clark-Stewart

PS If you have access to the 1851 census for Hull, I do have a lookup I
need done in the actual census for a CALLOWHILL family. I have the info
from the census index but I need to know the details for one family. Their
surname was misspelled, but I can tell you the exact reference to look up.
Please contact me if you can help out, as I have not had anyone from the
EAST YORKS list respond to my posting so far.

>From the journal of William Ellis Jones: Retrospective account of life.
Journal entries from June 28, 1861 to May 22, 1896. "Joined
Independents at age seventeen. Joined Wesleyan Methodists. Worked in
colliery, and worked under ground about 3 years. Filled appointments in
preaching. Joined Mormon Church, 1841. Voyage across Atlantic, up
Mississippi River to Nauvoo. Sailed Feb. 5, 1842 on ship "Hope" from
Great Britain to New Orleans."
This William Ellis Jones was born 6 Apr 1817 at Buckley, Flintshire,
Wales. His parents were John JONES and Catherine ELLIS. I want to find
out more about his parents of course, so I am curious as to where to
find these "Independents" records he speaks of, which he would have
joined in about 1834. I also wondered about the Wesleyan Methodists,
what record I might find there. I wondered what coal mines they had
there, which it might have been.
I have the following information, without sources for his family, His
father John JONES was born 1784 Hawarden, Flintshire, married Catherine
ELLIS b. 1785 at Hawarden, daughter of Robert ELLIS. John JONES died 10
May 1870, but I don't know where. I'm wondering if I could find his
death certificate within the Hawarden Reg. Dist.? Would this tell me
anything? He and Catherine were married 15 Feb 1804, but I don't know
where and haven't verified the date. They had the following children:
Paul JONES b. abt 1803 died 1 Mar 1895
John JONES b. abt 1806 - died as a child
Ann JONES b. abt 1809 died 1823
John JONES b. abt 1812 died 28 May 1848 married Ester LEWIS
Mary JONES b. 1815 died 9 Aug 1882 married William PARKER
William Ellis JONES b. 6 apr 1817 died 26 Aug 1898
Elizabeth JONES b. abt 1821 - died as a child
Elizabeth JONES b. abt 1823
Thomas JONES b. 30 Apr 1829 died 17 Jun 1895
Please let me know if you have any clues or ideas about these people.
Thank you!

Dear Ray,
Unfortunately, I did noty find a Meredith JONES in my limited list from
Holywell and Whitford Parish Churches.
These are the films which I rented from the LDS last Spring to try to find
my JONES and PARRY relatives:
FHL Film # 0815980 Baptisms (various non-conformist Churches) in
Holywell and other Parishes in Flintshire - note: very limited other than
for the Old or John Wynne Chapel in Holywell. Most Chapels only have a few
years in the early 180 to 1830's filmed.
FHL Film # 0104826 Baptisms, Marriages and Burials in Whitford
Parish Church note: quite extensive but prior to 1809 the film was so
dark it was unreadable.
FHL Film # 0104789 Baptisms, Marriages and Burials in Holywell
Parish Church, 1817-1830 note; the early years around 1817 to 1822 were
very sporadic and incomplete. The rest were quite good.
Perhaps you should try a few more Parish Churches in the immediate area if
the list I sent doesn't pan out for you.

Have you tried joining the CLWYD-L list. There are some very helpful ladies
on there who do look ups for people. They will probably do a look up for
you. If you give me the details I am hoping to go to look at the GRO list
soon if I ever get my car back so can try and look them up for you. Give as
much detail as you know please but I would also join the

hope this helps

Here is what I have in my limited lists. The LDS films were not complete
for the early years, so there are many gaps. Perhaps if these still are not
your John JONES, SKS cold look in the actual Parish Registers for you. Have
you found his marriage certificate? It might give you his father's name and

That is all I have in my records.
When you see (sp?) it is because I was unsure of the spelling of the place
name and that was the best deciphering I could do. if anyone else on the
list could clarifying any of those, I would be most grateful.
I hope one of these in this long list is your ancestor.

Dear Brian,
You may also want to consider Jane. My Uncle John (Jack) PARRY was married
to a Jane STOREY but she was always called Jinny.
Ginny is most often the nickname for Virginia.
Jenny is the most common nickname for Jennifer.
Jinny is the most common nickname for Jane.
I have never heard of Jinny for Lavinia but I have a cousin Louvein PARRY
whose nickname is Lovey.
I did a search on my favourite search engine http://www.google.com and
discovered the following fantastic web site:
http://www.tngenweb.org/franklin/frannick.htm
Not only does it provide a list of all of the common and unusual nicknames,
it also has a guide to traditional naming patterns and another link to a
"Names" web site which provides the meaning of names.
Hope this helps all of the listers out there who have unusual names in the
family.
Kindest regards,

Hello,
I am researching a Jones line that spent time in Holt. The name I can
confirm is Edward Jones living in the town of Holt during the 1881 census.
Edward was born in mid 1849 to late 1850. In 1881 he was married to Mary
(27) and they had 3 children Thomas (6), James (3), and Elleanor (6m).
Edwards father was Thomas Jones. (You can stop laughing now) I confirmed
this with a marriage certificate. Found a possible connection in 1851 census
with a Thomas (H) and a Thomas (S/unm). My problem is that I have been
unable to locate the baptism info on oldest son Thomas (6). The other
children were baptised in Holt, but a close look at the parish records left
me without anything on Thomas. I am looking in West Derby where they were
married in the event they took him back there fr baptism but I was hoping to
that someone might check Wrexham parish records for me. If anyone is looking
through the parish registers and happens across this name I would love an
email with the details.
Thanks in advance, Tom Jones

Would anyone have access to the parish records of Whitchurch? I am
looking for the birthdates of the children of Richard and Martha
WINDSOR who appear to have been born between 1860 and 1885. They lived
on Field Farm near Bronington, but there doesn't appear to be records
for Bronington. If anyone could help, it would be great. Thanks,
Gillian Rodie, Nova Scotia
Dear List
Has anyone heard of an address of Cloughs Row in St Asaph. It doesn't seem
to exist anymore but was definitely on the 1881 and 1891 census and,
needless to say, my kith and kin were living there!!
Thanks
Diane

Dear Rob,
I have reviewed one of the Mormon films for the Parish Church in Whitford,
FHL Film #0104826, for my PARRY/JONES ancestors. I will be transcribing the
data to the list this Fall. The data I have runs from about 1813 to 1837.
The earlier records were very hard to decipher on the film and my eyes could
not hold out for long on the readers. I am still trying to finish putting
on the list the data from the Parish Church in Holywell for my PARRY and
JONES relatives. You can search those by looking at the archives for this
list.
I have John PARRY b. 1825 Holywell and Jemima JONES b. 1825 in Whitford (
daughter of Edward and Jane JONES of Creccas, Whitford area) being married
in Whitford on Jan 31, 1846. Their son Edward/Edwin b. Dec 11, 1852 in
Holywell is my great grandfather. He moved to Durham to work and in 1872 at
age 20 married Elizabeth Ann BURDIS. Their son William b. April 18, 1881 in
Windy Nook, Felling, Co. Durham is my grandfather. Do you have any
connection to this line?
If you want to give me the names and dates of your JONES ancestors you are
looking for in Whitford, I will check the PARRY/JONES data that I have
transcribed from the film.
Kindest regards,
Anne Clark-Stewart

PS - Please note that I no longer have the film, as it was only on loan for
four weeks this Spring and had to be returned.
