Help deciphering address on 1939 register (Oswestry)
« on: Monday 20 August 18 15:36 BST (UK) »
Good afternoon and thank you for any help that can be given.

I would be grateful if someone is able to transcribe the address in the attached extract please.  The original transcriber has it down as "Ball Mill Cottage Pi? Governess". 

Ref: Ref: RG101/5214C/015/42

Thank you,

Nic

Move onto the next page where the last member of the family is, it is much clearer and says Oak Mill Cottage. ;D

Thank you Carol,

I feel a little bit silly now!  I went to the top of the same page trying to work out the addresses there but didn't think to move to the next page!

The address now seems to be Oak Mill Cottage, Twmpath, Gobowen - what do you think?

Have checked it on the modern maps and it still exists so I am happy to stick with it.  Thank you again for your help.

Yes I've just googled it and found that there are various houses for sale in that area.
So well done for working it out.
