I have recently aquired an Allen scythe with a two stroke Villiers engine and an Allen two-man chainsaw fitted with a villiers stroke engine(it’s quite a beast)
My question is what is the correct ratio of modern 2 stroke oil to petrol suitable for vintage engines?

Personally I would advise against using “modern” twostroke oil in your type of engine. They were designed to use a straight 30 type oil mix.
