Firstly I would say that the family you have in 1841, in 1851 does not
include a 'Mary'.
It's such a common name in the area that Edward Davies' could be related but
there may be as many as you say.
Even the occupations would be common in the area.
All the locations are on the border, so that even Hawarden was listed in
England census on at least one occasion.
It's all to do with parishes and registration (two different ways of
recording), so look at the GENUKI site for more detail.
See
www.old-maps.co.uk as well.
At what point can you get the two women as sisters, and I'll try and track
back to the correct one.
Do you have any birth or marriage certs that give father/parent details?

Subject: [FLN] Geography lesson needed
Okay, I am thoroughly confused, and not familiar with the geography
of
Flintshire. In some records, I find folks recorded as being in Cheshire,
Flintshire. Some records say Great Boughton, some say Hawarden, some just
say Boughton.
Are they all different locations, or all the same?
The family I am tracing is as follows: Mary Davies was born about 1841 in
Flintshire. The BDM records have several Mary Davies in Great Boughton
district
any of which who could be her. I would think she'd be born in Hawarden,
the
same as her older sister.
Her sister, Elizabeth Davies was born about 1828 in Hawarden, Flintshire.
I
know that from later census records. Both have a father named Edward. The
IGI
shows some Edward Davies marriages to 7 different possibile wifes all in
Hawarden.
Someone kindly sent me an 1841 census in Broughton showing an Edward, with
wife Jane, and several children (there's an Elizabeth there- 10 years old.
If
that's the right family, Mary may not have been born in time for that
census)
Can someone give me a geography lesson and help me narrow down my choices?
does anyone have the 1851 census which might show the sisters with afather
named Edward?
Thanks to anyone whocan set me straight!
