Where Am I? No 12

[Ruskie]

I don't know how useful it may be in the circumstances but Denbighshire Archives apparently holds a 1793 pen and wash image of Vron Yw and Llangwyfan Church.I can't find the image online,but if this is still rumbling on later in the week,I could visit the archives to try to obtain a copy or,possibly visit the site to try to take photographs.I am approx. 12-15 miles away.

That is a very kind offer Roger, but my thought is that Vron Yw is irrelevant to the search for Caz's house, and I wouldn't want you to waste your time. See what others think though.

Like Caz and Groom, I think we need to move on to finding the real house.

            I appreciate the time and effort that he has put into the search and he has certainly gone the extra mile, however I think it's time to concede once and for all,  that as much as we would like it to be, this is not "Cazza's House".                                   

I agree Caz. We now need to turn our attention to finding where it is/was, rather than trying to prove where it isn't.

What a very sensible idea!

If Scouseboy can provide photographic proof sometime down the track that would be wonderful.   However, in the meantime let's do what Groom suggests, and move on to other ideas.  I think it might be a worthwhile exercise to go back through the pages and collate the very insightful comments regarding the design, layout etc of the building, to see if there are any clues that might provide further search terms.

Good idea Caz.

I did consider suggesting that you repost the original image and start a whole new thread. However there has already been a lot of research and good suggestions put forward so it's a shame to lose them.

55 pages though is a lot to trawl through and much of it is irrelevant.

My head is doing 360 degree spins….

I think you'll feel better once we get back on track. 

I will probably regret this, but if I have time tomorrow I will go through the thread and extract the relevant points to construct a summary of thoughts and opinions (and I'll try to keep it brief and in note form)

Go to your profile and adjust the ''replies per page'' to 50.

I only have to go through 10. 

But I understand if people don't have the connection speed etc to do this.

Ah yes, I forgot about that. I used it a while back but didn't like having to scroll down so many posts per page and kept getting lost.

Yesterday I read through some of the earlier threads, and it was striking that most of the images in the original set were linked to the Clifton-Brown and related families.

As this house isn't a big country house like some of those others, I wondered if it might be a house on one of those estates.  Actually if so, and especially if it no longer exists, there may be no photos on the web of the house, and if it is still standing it may be not visible from a public place so no pics from Geograph, Street View etc to help out.

It seemed that Cazza was contacting some Moon relatives and I presume there has been no response from the famliy concerned?

I also thought that perhaps this was some coastal holiday home or a "spa" that they stayed at, but that is of course making a massive assumption that the photo is connected to them.

That is correct, sadly I didn't receive a response to my emails.

Some of us also feel this is worth pursuing. I believe yorkslass has some ebooks of Cliftons and Moons and Hanburys etc

I have looked through a few.

It was also why we concentrated on Sussex in the first place as I found a link to http://www.slaughamarchives.org/picture/number1431.asp  which has some connection to Mildred Clifton Nix - we then noticed some similar styles , which is where I have focussed most of my searches.

Good to see you still thinking John
