Hi,
The place you want is actually called 'Oswestry' and it is currently in England and not Wales. If you look on a map and find the English town of Shrewsbury, Oswestry is about 15 miles nw and about the same distance south of Wrexham. As border's have changed Oswestry may have been in Wales at some point; all the place names to its east are english and to its west are Welsh!
