Dear listers and fellow PARRY/JONES researchers:
I have just finished viewing the three Family History Library (FHL)
microfilms for the churches of Holywell and Whitford and the
non-conformist churches in the area and now have more information on my
gg grandparents and their immediate ancestors as well as some of their
children. The following is the collective result of research by Mavis
and Molly, Colin PARRY of RHYL (not on-line), Bob PARRY of Durham and
the writer (me).

As we find any more siblings for this family, we will add them to the
list.
I did find Edward and Jane JONES as witnesses to one wedding in Holywell
Parish Church in 1836:
1836 Marriages FHL film 0104789
page 12 - George ROGERS, bachelor of this parish and Elizabeth PARRY,
spinster of this parish, were married by banns on May 7, 1836 by Morris
Williams, curate. Signed by George ROGERS (x) his mark and Elizabeth
PARRY (x) her mark. The witnesses wereEdward JONES (signed) and Jane
JONES (x) her mark.
This record may be a key to opening up doors to other family
relationships, as witnesses tended to be close family relatives.
I hope this helps with some other PARRY researchers on the list.
And MAVIS and MOLLY, a really big thank you to both of you for helping
us out despite your busy schedule of lookups. It really meant a lot to
us to be able to get back this far.
Kindest regards,
