There appear to be 2 other Johns, one who is a Blacksmith at Rhos, Ruabon, also 52, married to Ann aged 50. Another John was born c1807 but does not appear on the 1851 census. None of them appear on the 1841 census as these records are missing, as are the parish records for \|Ruabon. Can anyone help me unravel the story. Some trees show the 1807 John as married to Mary Edwards, others show the 52 year old blacksmith from Cefn Mawr as married to her. Does anyone know the family and can you help me get further back. i do have access to one tree that goes further back, but cannot confirm the details until I get my Johns sorted out.
