My best friend and I have decided that the Entwives are almost definitely in the Shire (My bet is on the Old Forest; Tom Bombadil talks about it being incredibly ancient, perhaps even comparable to Fangorn). For one, when Treebeard describes the sort of country the Entwives loved (and thus, left Fangorn to seek), Merry and Pippin comment on how much that sounds like the Shire. Also, there's a passage in The Fellowship where Sam is in a bar having a conversation with some other hobbits

You forget that Treebeard says that the Entwives were different from the Ents and that they didn't look like them, they were smaller and had rosy cheeks or sth like that. And that they were a lot smaller.
They loved gardening and stuff like that, so they could'nt look like a tree. So, the walking elm in the Shire could not have been an Entwife.
Personally, I, too, think that the Entwives are in the Shire, but I fear they are dead by the Third Age.
