Hi Eluned, i've researched quite a bit of information on john and mary ellen edwards all the census returns from 1871/1911 most of the time spent in around windy hill gwersyllt yet i still can't seem to find out when they died john was born 1847 moss mary ellen 1849 minera. I'm sure after they left brith dir their son james took over the farm so i put this on to your forum in hope some distant member of the edwards family might still be in the area and be able to help me in my quest.Any information about any of the edwards family would be of help thanks

Hi Amunc, England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1966 John Edwards of Llwyn Onn, Bwlchgwyn died on 27 April 1938. Probate was granted to Mary Eliza Hilton widow and Louisa Jane Lloyd (wife of Joseph Albert Lloyd). Mary Ellen Edwards of Llwyn Onn, Bwlchgwyn died on 30 December 1940. Probate was granted to Herbert Howell Gott rate collector and Edward Blythe company director. I found Mary Ellen first but was unsure if I had found the right one as the executors names didn't fit with the family you mentioned. However when I found John at the same address with Mary Eliza Hilton and Louisa Jane Lloyd as executors it all fell in to place. Good luck with the rest of your quest. Nellie

North Wales Express 18 January 1884
SHOCKING DEATH OF A CHILD NEAR WREXHAM —On Thursday evening the Denbighshire Coroner held qn inquest at Gwersyllt, on the body of a child aged seven, the son of Mr John Edwards, Windy Hill Farm. The deceased was sent to bed on Sunday as a punishment for some trifling offence, and it is presumed that he began playing with some matches, for shortly afterwards the bed- clothing was found in flames, and the de- ceased was so seriously injured that he died on Tuesday.
