Hamlet Road, Brymbo

[MikeDavies38]

I am doing some research for a lady in USA and found her ancestors living in Hamlet Road in Brymbo.  Anyone any idea where this is/was?

Hi Mike, not once on both threads have you mentioned the family you are researching for a lady in the USA, it may help you know?

Hi Keyboard

I think they are the Simons family. It looks as if Mike has been communicating with someone on this Ancestry Board for some time:

(second post mentions Hamlet Road)

Thanks Gadget, maybe too many WOWS in the replies, plus no info as such on these 2 threads makes me look elsewhere, hope answer is forthcoming though

I went to Brymbo once!

Here they are in 1861 in Hamlet Road:

Well, here it is RG9/4277/66/49

I've looked at a few maps but haven't found it yet.

Previous post gives 1861 info as well but nothing found afterwards

I found Hamlet Road in the 1861 census but like you I can't find it on modern day maps

Google shows Brymbo 5km NNW of Wrexham (Flintshire) and 17km SSW of Chester.

The village has just over 1000 voting inhabitants according to the 2008 electoral rolls.

Sorry Carol.  The coldweather must addling my old brain.
