  I think the Herbie you are looking for lives in the old peoples houses, not sure which number but the address is Ffynnon Nephal, Ruthin Road, Bwlchgwyn, Wrexham. He has a son Gary who lives at Uplands, Brymbo Road, Bwlchgwyn, Wrexham. There are only four houses in uplands and I think Gary lives in no 4. Hope this helps.

  Hi karen,
  
  You're definitely Wrexham, but, by the sound of it, somewhere between Brynteg and PENTRE broughton, both villages that have rather blurred boundaries on the hills over the main town.
  
  My fathers side of the family are also from Brynteg.

  Hi wrexhamafc,Thanks a lot, the name Pentre Broughton has cropped up before so i now know i am in Wrexham, interesting to know you have family from Brynteg as i believe it is only a small village,my family were named Williams{of which there are hundreds in the area}and they lived in Edwards road,i dont know if the road exists anymore, i couldnt find it on the 1881 census but i know it was there in
  1921.anyway thanks again for your help, much appreciated.
  Best regards Karen.

  You're definitely in Wrexham (Clwyd, i.e. Denbighshire). Brynteg, Broughton and Pentre Broughton are all small "villages" which don't appear to have any boundaries. I used to live in the Moss a small village just below Broughton/Pentre Broughton. Brynteg is about 3-4 miles from Wrexham town centre in the rough direction of Brymbo.
  Hope this helps.

  the pub the turf was on the site where the new country store is but that was a long time ago and a new one in its memory was built about 20-30 years ago it is now by the football ground

• Re: lost relatives by Gedge (Member 10027031) on 26-Sep-2002
  The Turf as it stands now was only built 20-30 years ago? Who told you that?

  my great-grandfather immigrated to the u.s. but his brother, who was named albert edward price, stayed in the u.k.
  
  he would be too old to be your father, but is there any possibility he's an ancestor? my great-grandfather was named wilfred price and was a carpetmaker. his father was named harry price. i believe they may have lived in or near kidderminister.
