No the bus would stop right outside the farm gate but I was only 4 so I'm sure my memory is not all that accurate. I think my gran used to tell the bus driver where she wanted him to stop & he would. They were very obliging in those days! So we may get nowhere, never mind we tried. Thanks again, I'll look in on you again tomorrow, but I won't be up until your lunch time. A.

Hi, Tell me more please. What was their surname, because that's why I got stuck.I couldn't find a marr for Aggie, so couldn't look any further for her. I don't think I ever knew the name of the farm. I had a feeling they didn't have any children but wasn't positive. Was she sister to Selina Fox? If we establish she's who I'm looking for I'll give you my home e-mail & maybe we could then correspond that way. Thanks so much for replying. Amberly.

Sorry I've been so long replying but my husband has been in hospital. This could be them, & I just assumed Aggie was Selina's sister, when I found Selina had a sister named Agnes living with her after she got married. Selina Fox married a Dai Lewis who was the son of the Lewis' who brought up my grandmother. Does Jean have an e-mail address for me to communicate with her, by any chance? It's a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack! Thanks so much, Amberly.

sorry but i do not know jean by person, the information i have given you so far is what my mother has told me, she is sister to reg and is now 96 years old, but has a good memory for her age. i am sure this is the aggie and reg you are looking for as the farm they lived in is just as you discribed,do you remember anything about the inside of the house?, i can remember that you had to step down into the kitchen.

I'm going to give you my home e-mail so we can continue this privately, do you mind that? (*)
I remember walking through the farmyard gate & the house was on the left & you walked around to the door & went in to a huge kitchen with the range facing you. I can't remember if you went down a step or not. Ask your Mum please if she remembers Aggie having a friend named Mary Francis Lewis, called Polly who married a Walter Barker Roberts, called Wally & they lived in Rhosddu, Wrexham? They had 2 children, May & John, often called Johnnie or Jack. Thanks so much, Amberly.

If Aggie was Agnes Lewis who were her parents? Just realized I hadn't asked you that. Amberly

I think I've sent you a personal message now with my e-mail address. I'm not sure as the instructions weren't exactly straight forward, but I hope I have.
Please let me know.
