On the 1841 census, the Lewis family lived in ALLT VOCE or ALLT VOICE( 2 different spellings).On a recent trip to the area I was directed from Northop on the Flint road, past the school & shops & told that it was a lane on the R.
I was unable to find it.
Have contacted the Flint Archives & they had no knowledge either.
Any good researchers in the area have any ideas ????

Here your are - http://maps.nls.uk/view/102342357 - go half way up on right hand edge and scroll in a few inches/cm
It's Allt-Vois (Farm)
Still there - Allt Vois Farm, Northop Road, Flint Mountain, Flint CH6 5QG
You can download information from landregistry.gov.uk using the name plus post code. But it may only give information from when they went digital. Any older information may not have been scanned.

Right edge of map - "Allt-Vois Farm" - look for "Flint Mountain".
Possibility?

Apologies - forgot to say "A very warm welcome to Rootschat"
Also, not a "local genealogist". So, treat the info with due care!

Many thanks for the update

Dear Clare,
If it is the same family, my line comes from Arthur, son of John & Elizabeth---completely opposite end of the siblings !
I am originally from Stoke & have been going back from there.
Would love to share some details.
Regards,
Peggy
