Hello Sue,
The earliest I can get for John Parish is on the 1871 census at Tredegar
Mon, viz:-
1871 Census at No 16 Cottage, Tredegar RG10/5319//2
James Lush 21 Sirhowy
Anna Maria Lush 21 Tredegar
William Albert Lush 1 ,,
John Parish 20 coal miner, Unm Flintshire, Baguilt
James Lush's wife Anna Maria is Sarah Elizabeth Davis'sister (John's
wife to be) and on the same census at no 14 cottage is Jeremiah Davis'
family, what a surprise!
Jeremiah is a Master Tailor from Somerset and his family are tied into
David Ivor Davies family (Ivor Novello 1893-1951). Descendants of
Jeremiah were gifted musicians, choirmasters and organists, but that is
another story.
Best wishes, Brenda, Gwent, South Wales

Hi Brenda,
I am very interested in your John Parish born in Bagillt around 1850. From the
1881 census I have found my great grandfather in Hawarden and although he was
born in Flint around 1862 his brother Joseph was born in 1850 in Bagillt and his
mother Elizabeth (maiden name unknown as yet) was too in 1827. There is no
father on the list as he wasn't at home Elizabeth was listed as married, head,
coal miners wife. From my grandfathers marriage certificate I have just
discovered that his father was called Abraham. I am presuming he was at work
that night.
I am afraid I haven't gone far enough to prove a connection; as I have only just
got this far. I will keep your information and if I find a connection with your
John I will be back in touch.
Sue Parrish

Subject: [FLN] Parish family, Baguilt, Circa 1850
Has anyone please any interest in Parish (John Parish) family. John was
born in Baguilt in 1850. I have information of his family at Tredegar,
Monmouthshire around 1874. He married into the Davis/ Davies family who
were tailors from Wiltshire.
