Gobowen

I lived in Gobowen from when I was born in 1963 until we migrated to Australia in 1972. I also attend Gobowen School and I remember Mr Jones, he was so scary. My maiden name was Ankers. My mother came from Oswetry and her maiden name was Green. My dad came from somewhere around there not sure of where. He went to the "Bog" School. I have vivid memories of my life in Goowen.
