Weston paper mill Wern Weston Rhyn

Hi trying to  find out if there was a cottage near here named Weston Cottage and if anyone knows what it is called now. Two of our ancestors used to live  there Hugh Davies 1869-1956 and his sister Margaret[Maggie]1873-1952. They lived there from approx. 1920's until Hugh or Hughies death in 1956. Don't know if it was passed to any of the other Davies or if it was sold on.I think it is now Plas Cerrig but again I can't be certain without proof. The Davies family were farmers and occupied Fron Isaf farm in Weston Rhyn from approx. 1860's to I think 1930'sAny iformation greatly appreciated or old photos Regards Chris

Welcome to Rootschat!
I typed in on the off-chance-Weston Cottage, Shropshire, and a very pretty, quite old, B & B came up. Don't know if it is the one of course.
regards.

Hello, I have just logged on again after about 3 years or more and noted your post.

I wonder if this is of interest or connection to you and your ancestors.
My Gt Gt Aunt was a Mary Barber Duckett (spinster) who lived with a friend a Rose Davies, a confectioner of 'The Cross' Oswestry' Mary died in 1891 and a couple of people mebtion are I believe to be connected to you.
I won't quote verbatum but the details are. To Rose Davies Confectioner. £10
To. mary davies sister of above of the Vron Oswestry £10
to. Florence Davies daughter of Fanny Davies the elder of Bailey St. Oswestry (2 shares in Oswestry Gas light and Coke Co. )
To Sarah Jane Davies my Godchild and daughter of Hugh Davies and Niece of Miss rose Davies. 2 shares and £10 pounds also my Watch nd chain.

I would be interested to hear if these are members of your family I have no idea if they were related in anyway to my family the DUCKETT's or just friends. Hope this is of some interest
Kind regards
 Margaret Thurston (nee Duckett.
