I shall try to get down again some time, I did visit the Oswestry area last year for the first time, but unfortunately it was at the weekend so many places were closed. It would be good to be able to browse the papers of the time, to see if I could find traces of other members of my family - it is difficult with a name like "Jones", and all the common christian names (David, Edward, Thomas, Mary, etc.).
