Are you sure that it is Llangellan as the only one that I know is in Caernarvonshire.  Could it possibly be Llangollen or something similar?

I lived in the Oswestry area until the mid-1960s and parents lived there until the late 1990s.  I've not heard of it. I may have missed it.

Can you remember what part of Oswestry you might have visited?

Add- I'm sure it would be Llan and not Cllan. The Cllan might be how it might be thought of being pronounced.

could it be llan y cefn Hall - this could sound similar to llanegellan

Any other information? Was this your aunts address? Was it a Hall or an area known as this? was it cottages/houses in the grounds of a hall?

The only problem with that, Suz,  is that Llan y Cefn Hall is in Overton:

It would be good if the OP could give more information.

Overton is a good way from Oswestry, Suz.

If you look at my reply#1. you'll see that I was born and brought up in the area. If it was in Overton, I wouldn't think it would be described as in Oswestry.

Maybe anneelaine, could say how she got there; was it in the town itself; where there black and white timber houses, was it near the station; did she go up a hill to a market cross?

I'm trying to describe some of the features that a 5 year old might remember.

I'm really struggling with the various map sites at the moment. My connections seems fine but it's taking ages to move around them

Thank you so much for your Help
I think it could be that name, it was a hall and my Aunt and uncles lived in it
but I was very young at the time All I can see is the large staircase
Is the hall still there?
MY brother is in Australia  He may know a little more than me, he is 10 years older, I will be seeing him in a month,
I am now starting to do the family tree
thanks so much.
ps  (Oswestry.) my mum may have said  Oswestry. Road and also Wrexham I think I heard but  I did not know why.
