There is another article on this site about Mealors of Willaston which is another village next door to Neston, you may find some good information on there as well

Hi the Mealor family had a plough makers in Ness (which is the village next door to Neston) I've attached a link to a website where there is a photo,  scroll through the burton tour and you will find it half way along, also google Mealor and sons plough makers and I'm sure you will find some more info

I'm sure this was the family of Mealors who owned Mealors ploughs business in Ness (later became mealors mowers) as they were farmers as well, applied for a patent for one of their ploughs. I have some old photo's of the outside of the premises I will dig them out

Hi,
    Hafod y gog is a farm,i've attached a link to show were it is on the map but if it doesn't work just go to streetmap.co.uk and put in the post code LL22 8RS and zoom in a bit.I think the translation of hafod y gog into english means something like summer pasture of the cuckoo

check out the curious fox website and look under neston,there is a lady looking for willaston cottrells and i sent her a couple of photos from c1910 with members of the cottrell family.Some lived in a thatched cottage at the end of mill lane in ness and the others owned the post office in burton i think they could be part of your cottrell family

Information from book Neston 1840-1940 published by the Burton and South Wirral local history society (copies quite often pop up on ebay)

Samuel mealor and his wife Margaret both born in willaston but had moved to ness by 1851 (methodist family).Their eldest surviving son Joseph was born in ness in 1852 but does not show on the local 1871 census was presumed to be apprenticed away from home as he is shown in the 1881 census as a blacksmith.Joseph started the plough company and filed many patents for plough designs(there was a blacksmiths as part of the plough business).By 1935 the proprietors were joseph mealor (snr) and his son john j mealor.

The premises won't be there much longer as planning permission was granted for the building of houses on the yard but the original building will be incorperated in the design
