Hi Alison, Just to help your memory-- The row you remember was Victoria Terrace with a pub on the northern end named Victoria Vaults and a shop on the southern end nicknamed Foukes's there was a gate along side shop to allow access to rear. Immediately to the south of the gateway was a milestone which is still there (approx on the boundary of FWB and Minerra B Supplies) and it is exactly one mile to by what was the Three Mile Inn in the Adwy Also I have a pic of the Terrace with advertising board outside the shop. The shop was owned by Mrs Ffoulkes who I believe came from Carrog and run by her son-in- Law Ieuan Roberts Tom

Hi, At the bottom of 20 Houses (Southern End) is the pub Five Crosses and around the corner almost behind the pub was a Smithy mentioned in Cliff Davies book ---The Owens Family were involved when I was young and there is plenty about them on this site--realise this is rather vague but may spark a reply or two.

Hi, Sorry to be so vague with details but William is not shown deceased 15 5 1847 on Thomas's marr. cert. However Thomas was living on Minera mountain in 1901 aged 76 y still working---His job "Has charge of the ponds which flow to Minera Lead Mine" quite a title for someone who lived across the road from the pools. The actual pools can be seen on this site in Minera Locations/mountain reservoirs. I was told he always gave a false age(lost a few years) to retain his job and cottage but it did not appear to pay off as he died 13 2 1902 allegedly 75 yrs old of a stroke in Wrexham Workhouse. I presume he had no means of any other healthcare at the time Tom

Hi, Thanks for all this info and at first glance I believe they are all mine. I will now try and develop them enough to feel confident to put them in my tree. Hope to get at least one marriage on Thursday. Thanks again Tom

Hi Heather, I really do not know for sure if these are mine as I do not have any relevant info which would prove it yet, but seeing it is a recent development on my part I still feel pretty confident we are close enough to feel reasonably confident. I do have the details of John & Mgt Carrington as the LW IMG No1 Gives birth as well as death dates and also another John Carrington who is probably their son.(Can supply burial dates for all 3 ) I do not have any record of brothers or sisters for Mary Michael due to the fact my Census details for her start with the 1851 Census when she has already married my G Grandfather Thomas Evans in Wxm 15 5 1847 and the Witnesses were John Evans,John Michael & Margaret Evans and they are living in the Wern. I am sorry this all sounds a bit jumbled but maybe we will get there in the end. Thanks anyway Tom

Hi, I am afraid no one positively identified the group at last nights meeting--but it is early days yet as I took at least half a dozen copies which all went home with someone, therefore I may well get some info next month with a bit of luck. One older member did say that the gentleman in the centre front row looked very much like Mr Danson of Minera Hall and was my first choice but I did not want to influence anyone. I remember him in the 1930,s and there is a good picture of him in Glyn Davies book opposite Page 45 He is recorded in the book as Mr Davidson but I can absolutey say as far as I am concerned its Def. Mr Danson. I also think it is quite possibly taken behind Minera Hall as there were a lot of well maintained Buildings similar to these there as far as my memory serves me- I will now suggest the man on the back row ext right really does look like a gamekeeper and the others could well be staff and/or family. I hope this will bring out some of your own views and opinions as obviously I do not really know who they all are ;D Tom

Hi Heather, I agree it may be better left for now but I feel this is the William Roberts c1876 son of Lydia Thomas & John Roberts if only for the exact date of birth and Lydia is not all that common in Coedpoeth--The graves are not really close and I have sent you my own version of a cemetery plan by E mail for you to see for yourself- Tom

Hi Margaret, It seems more than definite to me and I am more than happy to put all the info in once I have absorbed all this news. My family source (sadly no longer with us) really tried her best and probably related tales which were told to her when she was young but had no proof. I must add she also gave me some fantastic leads which have proved successful such as this one and I will always be indebted to her as I knew so little about my ancestors. Thankyou for your help and may I be cheeky and ask if the 1911 Census has Rg no,s as I would love to beat a good friend to be first putting details of a 1911 entry in my Family Tree. Thanks again Tom
