my family moved to Coedpoeth in 1975 when my father Norman Lewis Williams became the minsister of Rehoboth Welsh Wesleyan chapel.
My father died in 1978 but I remember my mother saying a few years later that my father's cousin ran the village post office.
Now my father's family, which came from Cymau was very small and there were not many cousins - can anybody recall the name of the post masters in Coedpoeth say between !975 and the late 1980's. It might have been the son of his true cousin as my father's parents married whenthey were quite old. His father Lewis Williams was 50 and his mother in her mid 40's.

Perhaps you could try posting on the BBC Coedpoeth site? Lots of local interest

I am sure it was a Mr John?? Owens that ran the post office during this time.

It was definitely a Mr John? Owens and also his son John who ran it up until the 1990s - I then moved out of Coedpoeth and can't confirm whether he is still there now but he would probably still be working as he is the same age as me.

The postmaster in C/Poeth in the 80's was Bryn Owen, his son John took over and is still there with his wife, and their son Richard. Christine

thanks for all these replies. It makes sense as my father's mother was an Owen. I will write to the post office.
