I am looking for any connections to the Foulkes family in Pontblyddyn, Leeswood, Norhop area of Flintshire. Furthest back is Samuel Foulkes born c.1809 marrying a Mary Evans around 1830. They had 10 children.Samuel was an agricultural labourer but later members became miners. Does any of this ring any bells with anybody. |

My grandfather Joseph Richard Foulkes (b1867) was born at Hawarden. His siblings were mostly born at Queensferry. Since most of his male antecedents were seafarers it has been difficult to find them through the censuses as they were mostly at sea, together with, it seems, their wives and children. I have come across many Foulkes families in the surrounding areas, so I expect that our families are connected somewhere in the past. |

As I intimated in my last posting my grandfather, Joseph Richard Foulkes (1867), had two brothers and three sisters. Robert Alfred (1876) emigrated to Canada and settled in Upsala (Ontario?). Hugh John (1872) did not marry and lived in his later years on a boat at Port Dinorwic. I can find no record of Margaret Ann (1874) and Mary Jane (1869) after the census of 1881. Elizabeth (1879) was still unmarried and living with her parents, Jane (nee Johnson) and Richard at 4 Russell Road, Birkenhead in 1901. With the exception of Mary Jane, who was born at Chester, the children of the family were born at Queensferry. |
