unfortunately the 1841 is missing for parts of wrexham including brymbo. , so cant see the family then, not that it would help with his parents.



if you get the birth certificate for one of the children that will give you marys maiden name(if you dont know it already) . armed with that it might be possible to find a marriage cert whch would give you both their fathers names and occupations.



however as first child is born 1834 i assume the marriage will be earlier than that and therefore before civil registration started in 1837, so it is down to parish records.



The following Wrexham Parish Registers have been deposited at the Denbighshire Records Office in Ruthin:

Baptisms 1618 - 1988

Marriages: 1632 - 1989

Burials 1620 - 1997



they are not online on igi etc

the clwyd family history society has transcribed a lot of the registers but not sure about brymbo beofre 1838 as it doesnt seem to be on their list.

it would be worth contacting them to see if they are doing them at moment or if they can offer any advice etc.



actually i have just seen that you can access them at the a n palmer library in wrexham too. as you can see from my profile i live in wrexham and i would be willing to go and have a look for you but it wouldnt be for a month or more as i am off on holiday next week

apologies for not getting back to you. have not been able to go to library yet and cant see me getting there before end of january at earliest but dont worry i havent forgot about it. i will contact you by pm before going to see if you have any new info/ still want me to check etc.
