To add to this...
On the census details from 1861 to 1901, two (1861 & 1881) have William Evans born in Llanfyllin Montgomeryshire and three in Llanuwchllyn Merionethshire 18 miles away, where he was born. The discrepancy I think is at the age of 5 the family moved to Llanfyllin.

William was apprenticed age eight from 1831-39 in Newtown, where his parents, Evan and Ann Evans, enjoyed their golden years. I think William might have still worked locally and lived with his parents, but I can find no trace in 1841 census.

In 1848 William moved to the Crescent Mill, Greenfield, Holywell to work for Messrs John and James Hall. He quickly became a manager. Again I can find no trace in the 1851 census. One of my new theories is that the the newspaper obituary was incorrect, and the date was not 1848, but was actually 1858, two years after he married in Newtown ... I will investigate!!

Attached is a photo showing the Crescent Mill in the bottom left corner. Sadly whilst most of the many Greenfield Mills are partially intact, this one has completely gone.

Thank you for posting the film of the trains from Mold to Denbigh and Ruthin. My gt grandfather worked in Mold station and I think he was in Denbigh station at one time. I have never seen anything of the trains that ran along there and this was wonderful.

I take it you have contacted the North East Wales Archives for information they may hold on this? I found one entry on a search:

It looks as though this may have been owned, or bought, by Mostyn Estates.

Thanks Jo, I have cross referenced my collection and I already have these advertisements in the Flintshire Observer 4, 11, 18 and 25-11-1909, the day before the auction. It was withdrawn at £440. I keep popping back as I always seem to miss an article.
Nigel.

Lovely to hear from you, both here and in the letter I received.

Please be prepared for an avalanche of information which I will start with in an email 

Thank you Ellenmai and Tarnwater.

I usually get forwarded an email from rootschat but in this case I did not, apologies for the late reply.
Thanks for both replies as now my puzzle is solved 

Thank you, I had seen that previously, when searching on google, but could not find the exact location to see whether or not it appeared on old maps.

Do you know its precise location? as nearly all the houses in the village all come under the same post code LL28 5UD

There is no mention on the Tithe map
