Hello,
I understand that someone has access to the Hawarden Parish Registers. Am looking for the
baptism of Catharine Owen(s) whom I have found on the 1881 Toxteth Park, Liverpool Census
which states her birthplace as Hawarden, Flint, her age as 51 and her father as Edward
Owens, a Publican. I also have a copy of her marriage registry to David Williams - in
Chester Holy Trinity in 1848. According to family stories, Catharine married in Chester
but lived across the border in Wales, a fact shown on the Census. The only Catharine Owens
that I have found at the local LDS office was baptized in Flint, Flintshire on Jan. 17,
1830, the dau. of Edward Owens and Ruth Jones, who were married in Denbigh, Denbighshire
on Nov. 3, 1827. This could possibly be the right family - especially if the Hawarden PR
does not show the bap. of Catharine.
I also wonder if there is a listing of businesses such as Pubs or Inns, that might show
Edward Owens as being a Publican in the Hawarden area.
Thank you,
Frances in Ontario, Canada
