You can also call up a highly detailed (1:10,560-scale) late 19th century map of this area by going to the Old Maps website at http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ On the main page, click on the illustration which states "Click here to begin your search".

When the small map appears, click on the "Enlarge Map" icon on the right-hand tab. A highly detailed map of the area will open in a new window, centred on 'Old Hall' and also showing OldHall Wood and Old Hall Inn. The 1891 census (RG12/4583 Folio 76 Page 5) shows the Old Hall household to have been headed by 'William W T Moore', aged 80, a 'Proprietor of Lands' and 'Magistrate', born at Radnor. He was accompanied by his wife 'Eliza T Moore' (73), granddaughter Eliza E Thomas (13), and three servants. The 1901 census (RG13/5183 Folio 83 Page 8) shows the Old Hall household still to have been headed by 'William W Thomas-Moore' (90) , widower, a 'Magistrate, living on own means', born New Radnor. He was accompanied by his son Thomas Thomas-Moore (49) also a 'Magistrate, living on own means', born Aberedw, RAD; his daughter Evangeline M Thomas-Moore (47) born Aberedw; his granddaughter Laura J Thomas-Moore (30) born Aberedw; another grandddaughter Emily M Thomas-Moore (26) born Titley, Herefordshire; and three servants. The 1901 census shows a number of other members of the same Thomas-Moore family living in England, but I wasn't able to spot your elusive Marian Kate among them.

Hello John, I must be doing something wrong but when I follow your instructions as set out below, and I try to enlarge the map I receive a message saying that because of copyright problems, enlargement is prohibited. Am I the only one getting this response?
