Flintshire / Re: 9 houses Shotton

Hi,
Realise your post is 3 years old, but just in case your still looking. My Father in Law (Bob Brooks) went to live with his grandad in the 9 houses - Shotton around 1950. His grandad Frank Brooks had lived there for a number of years with his sister Kitty, My Father in Law has sadly passed away but my Mother in Law got to know the area in about 1955/56. She is sure the Brooks family were there during the war. She cannot recall any of the people you mention. Her recollection is in the first property were a family called Heywood. Next to her was Mary no surname and then in another property a lady called Blanche. she says that at the end of the row was a shop called 'Woodfines' which was nex to the pub known locally as Hendys. The pub is still there!
