Data from "Locos. of the Chester & Holyhead Ry", The Locomotive Magazine, Vol XV (15 April 1909), p. 67. See also [], last accessed 26 July 2015. Works numbers were 263-268 in 1847.
The LM report notes that this sextet demonstrates that the C & H indeed had its own locomotives. They were sold to the London & North Western as their 176-181 in 1859.
