Some of my ancestors are Carringtons that came from Coedpoeth and Bersham, I can go as far back as 1792 to a Francis Carrington, but place of birth I do not know, I also have his father as being a Thomas Carrington but I don't have a date or place of birth for him. One of Francis's sons were called Robert and he was born in Coedpoeth in 1842, he married a Jane Lloyd in 1861 Wrexham.
One of Robert and Jane sons were called Francis and he was born in Bersham 1877.
I have quite a bit of information of the Carringtons already that was given to me by a another researcher, but if anyone else have more I will be very grateful for anything. Thank you

Hi Rhiannon,
The Carrington's were a well known family of Coedpoeth during the 19th century as the business directories confirm. If you would like to piece a 'brief' article on the Carrington family, with a pic (or two) of Carrington family members- I'd very much like to include it on the upcoming 'village people' page of the Coedpoeth section.
Please PM or email me for further info - I have already had many emails regarding the Wilcoxon family, and as soon as I piece through them, they will be featured.

Hi Rhiannon I'm researching Carringtons, Proberts, Wynns from Minera & nearby. My grandfather was ROBERT FRANCIS CARRINGTON born 1883 Plas Gwyn Mountain, father JOHN CARRINGTON (born Minera 1852 - occ. Colliery Engine Driver), mother listed as WINIFRED PROBERT(1856 Bryneglwys) . The 1901 census finds the family living at Ffordisaf. 1891 census at 2 Nant-y-glyn, 1881 Pentre Bais? 1871 Plas Gwyn Mtn JOHN CARRINGTON was the son of FRANCIS CARRINGTON (born Minera 1828 occ Lead Miner) & MARIA WYNNE born in Treuddyn 1827. I've not been able to find them in the 1861 census, but I found Francis living with the WYNNE family in 1851 at Llandegla but that is as far as I've been able to go. If any of the above sounds familiar to anyone I would love to hear from them. Thanks.

Hello,
First I've got to say that researching the Carringtons always confuses me because there seams to be so many of them.
I was going to say that these families are not the same because I don't have a Robert Francis Carrington, but later on down your query I see you have a John born 1828 Minera to a Francis Carrington, I have a John born 1829 Bersham and his father name was Francis Carrington and his mother a Elizabeth Jones they were married 1841 Wrexham.
The siblings to John were: Robert, Thomas, Moses, Noah, Mary and Ann.
Do you think these are the same family ?
If so I look forward to hearing from you. Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon wrong generations I'm afraid. My John Carrington was definitely born in Minera in 1852. His father was Francis Carrington born Minera in 1828, mother Maria Wynn(e), married 1850. There are at least two Francis Carringtons around of roughly the same age circa 1828 & 1829 - one was listed as a "Victualer" and I see he is listed in the Minera records as owning or running a pub. But my Francis was a lead miner. Funnily enough they both died within six months of each other in 1890 and 1891. I know what you mean about the Carringtons - but they are probably all related if we go far enough back! I'm a newbie at all this research - most of mine has been ancestry.co.uk so far but I'm really enjoying it. The other grand parents all hail from North West Wales - its even more fun trying to track David Davies and John Jones into the past. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Heather

Try bbc.co.uk When you get the Home page, search using words Halkyn leadminer. You will have only one result, and that is quite interesting, it mentions families that came from Derbyshire to work in the leadmines and Carrington is one of the names. Perhaps your family moved from Flintshire.

UPDATE FOR RHIANNON "My" Francis Carrington born c1828 lists father's name on marriage certificate as John Carrington, miner and there are several potential John Carringtons on the 1841 census of Flintshire. Do you have any potential matches in your tree?

Hello Rhiannon
Haf Carrington was born in Coedpoeth in approximately 1942, and she is definitely female, I think she was about 12 months older than me. She married Berwyn Hopwood, a now retired policeman, dont' know where she now lives but think it is quite local. Hope this helps

Hi.The reason i ask is because there was cloth made for Rehobeth Chapel during the war(dont know which one) and my taid'd name is embroidered on it.It was taken to the Antiques Roadshow and this Haf Hopwood now has it.

Post by christine on Jun 16, 2006 16:54:54 GMT
Hi - interesting story, of course Rehobeth Chapel has been closed for a very long time now. Haf should not be hard to find, I think they live in Wrexham area, check the phone book, an uncommon surname. Good luck.

Noted from......
Pubs & Inquests by JC Davies 1875 INQUEST - Concerning the death of Thomas Carrington of Talwrn.
Message to sceptrelady.... Nant Y Glyn on Ffordd Isaf, Pentre Bais (Gwynfryn) still exists as a dwelling.
Interesting to note that Maria Carrington is noted briefly in 'Pubs & Inquests, by JC Davies' as living at Ty Brith in 1887.

Hi thanks, i think we have actually managed to track this person down.We went along to the Coedpoeth History Society meeting on Thurs, and her husband was there. In case you are not aware of this Society it meets every third Thursday of the month, and there is a talk on the life of Tom Carrington coming up.

I like possibly others would love to see your connection to the Carrington's as before the last few posts, your main interest was in the Lewis family name. Is it possible that you could share part of your Tree with us ? Its always nice to see where the connection in the families lie as I know that Sceptrelady and rhiannon share the family name somewhere along the line I'm sure they are both eager to see where you too fit in. I would love to see more of my extended family turn up on the board, but yet i have to wait and see what happens

Hello everyone I've just returned to Vancouver from UK. Delighted to tell you that I met several Carrington cousins while visiting the Wrexham area. A first cousin once removed Mair Carrington Roberts, and two second cousins Haf Hopwood and Emyr Evans. We are all descended from John Carrington and Winifred Roberts, former owners of Nant Y Glyn Gwynfryn, who were Tom Carrington's parents along with eight other siblings - including a Lethbridge Alberta branch. Also met with Peter Chadwick who is a fifth cousin. Peter and I had a delicious lunch at Tyn y Capel pub - once owned by Francis Carrington 1828-1890. Got goose bumps being there. It certainly is a beautiful part of the world and all of us seemed to have an instant rapport somehow. Thanks to Peter, Mair, Emyr, Haf & Berwyn have lots of photos and family tree information to put together. Once I've had a chance to catch up with work I'm planning to scan all the pictures and charts and set up a web page. Will send link once it is on line and additional contributions will be gratefully received. Best wishes Heather

I have just returned from Coedpoeth Library and found this little bit in a book called Coedpoeth Past. There is no date given as to when this happening occured. " 12 men ventured for lead at Eisteddfod near Gwynfryn, each earned £60 and became freeholders. " Three of the men named were Thomas Carrington, Park Road, Frances Carrington, Tyn-y -Capel and John Carrington, Cross Foxes. Not a lot, but maybe of a little interest

Pam I understand from Haf Hopwood that the talk will be in October. Apparently our late cousin Dewi gathered a lot of material on the Carrington family in Minera/Coedpoeth and it will be presented by his wife and daughter. Don't know who else will be presenting information. I wish I could be there but can't stand the idea of another 20 hours (back and forth) crammed into a sardine can that we call a plane these days. I've scanned all the censuses for the various Carringtons that I've found from the tree, as well as twenty plus BMDs that I have gathered. Rhian has already started sending me some of hers Am going to put them on DVD to send over. If anyone wants to add certificates to the data file, I have a list of what I have already. If interested please contact me off list or email me a scan of what you have in jpeg format. Once its done will mail off the discs to whoever is interested. Heather

Heather and anyone else interested in this talk to be held; I'm wondering if anyone from the group here will be attending and whether they have a digital video camera, they could film the talk and then it could be transferred to disc in mpeg format which will play on any standalone DVD player or computer and sent to anybody who is interested in the UK or abroad. Only a suggestion but would be a lovely gesture to help out relations of the Carringtons who live further afield seems that it would be a shame to miss out on this. If i am available I could possibly try to attend that meeting and film it myself that is if they will allow filming of the talk at all. I cannot make any promises but if someone else could do it who lives nearby it would be lovely. Tracey

Hello Tracey,
I am sorry I won't be able to attend as I am living in Spain but putting it on DVD would be brilliant, is this meeting just about the Carrington's ? You ever goes to this meeting, can you please let me know hoe it went. Thank you Rhiannon

www.cmhrc.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/nwals.htm I found this by chance looking for Plas Mostyn on Google . If you scroll down to Deep Level Mine Halkyn there is Frances Carrington aged 13, as this report is dated 1842 then this Frances must have been born about 1828/29. I wonder ??
