Title: Davies and old mill
Post by: bonehunter on Friday 03 April 09 22:24 BST (UK)

 Hi

My Gt Gt Grandfather was Robert Davies b abt 1833( Llangollen according to census ??) he was married to Arabella Griffiths b Abt 1834 ??. I know in 1867 They were living at Rhydymwyn Mill and Robert was a Miller. Does anyone know where I can find photos of the old mill  have tried a few sites but with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated

THX :)
