Hello Alejandro In 1891 Whixall should be part of RG.12 Piece No: 2124 Reg. Dist: 354 Wem Sub Dist: 2 Prees. Have a look at the England Jurisdictions 1851 on Family Search at http://maps.familysearch.org and just search for Whixall. This will give you some useful information and if you select the Layers tab on the left you can choose a Google base map which is helpful and will show you that Whixall Moss is very close to Wales and it is quite possible your lady may have been born on the Welsh side of the border unless she has stated otherwise elsewhere. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a Jurisdictions site for Wales and I don't have Piece Numbers for Flintshire. Having said this, if I am looking at the correct couple, Sarah Elizabeth JONES (the daughter of Thomas JONES and Mary SUTTON) and Joseph THORNES were married married at Preston Gubbals on 24 Jan 1902. She died 1 Dec 1962 at Astley and they are both buried at Preston Gubbals. There was a Probate for both of them. If this is your couple email me direct.
