The Hafod y Green in Denbighshire is starting to sound like the most likely
location for my Elizabeth Edwards. I received a message from a lister
giving me the family living at Hafod y Green in the 1841 census, and it is
the Edwards family, with a daughter Elizabeth, age 1. My Elizabeth Edwards
was born in 1840. So although I know that Elizabeth Edwards is a very
common name, having that family in Hafod y Green in 1841 is making it seem
likely thats the family I'm looking for. I'm not 100% sold on the idea yet,
but it sure is looking promising.

I continue to be amazed at the ability of people on this list to pin down
locations, name, ideas and possibilities. Thanks to everyone who has given
input to my many questions and requests. I am quite impressed with the
wealth of knowledge that all of you have.

Thanks,
Michelle
