Arlene,

We know that the father of the Peter Lloyd who married Elizabeth Hughes in 1839 was ROBERT (Frances confirmed this from the scan of the parish register). My griffiths and I are fairly sure that Peter died in Wigan in 1849 and not in Wales in 1847. So your aunt's WILLIAM is wrong here unless there was another Peter Lloyd and Elizabeth Hughes who married shortly before son Benjamin's birth. But Elizabeth's father was HUGH HUGHES in both marriage entries to Peter Lloyd and to John Griffiths.

We also know for sure that the Robert who married Mary Ann Gregory was born in Halkyn in 1829 and that his father's name was WILLIAM and that William was dead by 1847. Mygriffiths found details of the baptism and discovered that the mother's name was MARY.

A William LLoyd and a MARY DAVIES had several children who were christened in Halkyn. Between 1815 and 1830 familysearch lists 30 (!) Lloyds baptised in Halkyn. Of course, they will not all have been William and Mary's children, but you can't do "pay as you go" for this!! It would prove rather expensive. We do NOT know that Robert's mother was Mary Davies. We only know that it was Mary. It really would be interesting to go through the parish registers.

From the announcement of Mary Ann Gregory Lloyd's death, we know that there must be some kind of link between this family and Benjamin's family. Robert can't be Peter's brother if Peter's father was called Robert as his father was called William, but Robert could possibly be Peter's nephew.

If "your" Peter was born in 1804, that doesn't match in any way the census data and so I am not sure about this. Mygriffiths mentioned a Peter born in 1808 in Cilcain to Robert and Luce (Lucy?). This would fit the census data better as Peter was supposedly 30. With rounding down, he could have been 32. And we are only presuming that he was born in Flintshire. What we know definitely is only that he was in Flintshire at the time of his marriage in 1839.

I hope it doesn't sound like I'm lecturing (That's what I used to do at work!), but sometimes I need to write things down like this to clarify them in my own head as the names and generations can be confusing.

Do you want to start a new thread? This is getting very long and we've gone off the original Griffith question.
