Probably Erlas, Isy-y-Coed (which is where they lived when the children were baptised)

John Whitfield, farmer, died 28 Nov 1852.  The burial age is 78 (verified), but GRO and the death cert has 83 years.  John Maddocks of Cacca Dutton was present at the death.

Mary should be in Birkenhead somewhere, but John is probably buried at St Chad Holt, Gresford just outside Wrexham.  Mary could be in the same grave though!
