John Owens c1800, Flint - Holywell, Treffynnon
I'm looking for birth and marriage of John Owens.
John was born c1800 Flint and later married Sarah Hughes b1808 Halkyn.
I've trawled through the Halkyn and Flint Parish records, and although I found Sarah's baptism, I couldn't find John....and I couldn't fine their marriage.
I can only think they may have married in a surrounding Parish, maybe Holywell. If anyone has access to Marriage Registers for Holywell, and could look that up for me, I'd be grateful!
I would think they'd have married between 1835 - 1837 (first child was born 1837)
Thanks!

ANN THOMAS BORN HOLYWELL - Holywell, Treffynnon
In 1855 an Ann Thomas, age 19, spinster, father Thomas Thomas a Joiner by trade married a Samuel Jackson a Paper Maker age 22 his father William Jackson a Maker Up. Samuel was born Cheshire, could be Stockport.
I cannot find them on the 1861 despite exhaustive searching but have found Ann Jackson (census states born Holywell, Wales)on the 1871 at 8 Luton Street, Kirkdale, Liverpool with two children, Elizabeth Jackson age 5 born Manchester and Samuel Jackson age 6 born Liverpool. Census says she was a Fireman's wife. Another son John was born 1872 in Manchester and his birth certificate says Mother Ann Jackson (nee Thomas).
Any help in identifying the parents of Ann Thomas or finding her
on the 1861 census (hopefully with Samuel) would be wonderful !
She had died before the 1881 census and Samuel had remarried.
Kind regards, Pauline
