I really dont know It was a smallish place  It was near the railway  there must be people living in shotton who can remember 9 houses I am stuck on my family history and I firmly believe that Bernard holds the answer  Please keep trying Thanks Bernadine

Have you had a look on here, Bernadine?

Chapters 2 & 8 tell you a little about the nine houses.

Hi,
Realise your post is 3 years old, but just in case your still looking. My Father in Law  (Bob Brooks) went to live with his grandad in the 9 houses - Shotton around  1950. His grandad  Frank Brooks had lived there for a number of years with his sister Kitty,  My Father in Law has sadly passed away but my Mother in Law got to know the area in about 1955/56. She is sure the Brooks family were there during the war.  She cannot recall any of the people you mention.  Her recollection is in the first property were a family called Heywood.  Next to her was Mary no surname and then in another property a lady called Blanche.  she says that at the end of the row was a shop called 'Woodfines' which was nex to the pub known locally as Hendys. The pub is still there!

Hi Bernadine,  I have just read your post re. 9 Houses, Shotton. This was a hamlet. My grandfather James McClure Lived there in 1911. His address was 3 Tobies Row, Nine Houses, Shotton. He was a lodger there at the time. I hope this is helpful to you so that you might be able to find the correct address of your family there.. Regards Janet
