Trying to find Maescammed Hall, Gwyddelwern

[rutht22000]

Trying to find where Maescammed Hall was (or a picture if there is one out there!)

My great grandfathers cousin was living there in 1891 with her husband - they were John Wright Crosby and Margaret (nee Gardham)

They were not there very long as JWC dies in Liverpool in 1896 and Margaret moves off to Leeds.

Thank you

hmmmm....yes very possible! Thank you 

Just some sketchy spelling on the census   the writing is really clear that its a 'c' rather than a 'g'

Highgate Farm is on the same page as the Crosby family and its not too far away from there.

the c would possibly be mutated to a g in Welsh - it flows better. The trick with Welsh is  to say it.

Cammed can meam crooked or bent. I gather that the roads there are rather bendy (Wiki) so Maes-gammed would mean crooked field.

A Helps, Mark Whiteway Ball, youngest son of W Ball, JP, Walmer House, Torquay, to Edith Mary, youngest daughter of the late J W Crosby of Maesgammed Hall, North Wales."

Thank you for this and for the photos - my googling skills were lacking in finding anything about the Hall at all 

Yes, Edith was his youngest child from his first marriage
