Llansilin 1850 Map Needed

[Pamela21]

Does anyone have an old map of the area just north of Llansilin around 1850?

In 1841 William Andrew (aged 30) and family were living at the Old Turnpike, Lledrode and I wondered what the location of that dwelling might be.

Some of mu ancestors where there around then.

Here's one map:

Brilliant map! I can't seem to locate a 'township' called Lledrode either on that map or modern day map. The census summary indicates Lledrode is north of the turnpike road from Oswestry to Llansilin (now the B4580) but the only thing on either map is a single dwelling called Lledrod. None of the dwellings on my census sheet are shown by name on the old map. They lived in 'The Old Turnpike' so it must have been on the B4580.

It's called Lledrod  (no e) and is marked in two places. I would think the old turnpike is the road leading from Oswestry to Llansilin - I'll try and enlarge the map.

Try this:

Have you got the census details? I might be able to locate it from there as I grew up not far away.

[Pamela21]

Here is the census sheet, but none of these dwellings appear on the old map. It was shown as a township called Lledrode.

Here is the 1841 summary sheet describing the location. There just don't seem to be any dwellings in this location on the map.

I've checked around various maps - and will try some of my books on the area later today.

 I see the next house and those over the page are in Rhydycroesau - I think it's most likely to be close to there as it was more of a hamlet than Lledrod.

In 1851, I see that there are 3 households listed as 'Old Gate' * next to Rhyducroesau, so I think that is whee it is.

I see that your Andrews are in Glynceiriog in 1851 

* and a marginal note has them as Rhydycroesau.
