Can anybody identify the Shropshire place name in this scan of a family relative in the 1911 Census? This side of the family is mostly from Oswestry, Gobowen, Maesbury area. What is written between "Liverpool" and "Oswestry"?

Many thanks

Hi Tony, my guess is for "Gwern y brenin" near Maesbury (south of Oswestry). Following link has some info from 1901 census. Wonder if any of your family names appear to confirm.

Here's the link (omitted in too much haste):

Thanks David,
Looks as though this may be the right place, but I cannot yet see an obvious family link in Gwern y brenin itself, though two of the Bowyer families in Maesbury definitely are !
I need to expore this site a little more. Thanks again.
Tony

Just a thought
