I could not find New street, Newhouse Street on Google maps, so maybe it is no longer there?
Hi.
carpetzombie, I think it's unlikely Ty Newydd (New House) would be the name of the street. I think Ty Newydd is likely to be the name for the house or houses on that street . Some streets were not named in those days. For example it may not be a street as such , it could be a country lane with not many homes on it and hasn't be named yet, or a field with one home on it etc. There are many reasons for no street address .
You usually will get a street address on the census if there is one , but if there isn't you will usually have the names of the houses, or a describing name for the buildings/houses in that column on the census. Ty Newydd was and still is a pretty popular name for people to name their home.
To try and find where the street/place was (or maybe still is today) an idea is to look through the previous and following pages on the census to find some sort of a landmark such as a pub , church or a mill etc, which are usually marked on the old maps, and to see if there are any nearby streets that have names I found a few of of my ancestors homes back in Wales by doing this.
For old maps try http://www.old-maps.co.uk/indexmappage2.aspx, you can view some of them for free online - they have a few for Loughor during the 1870's and onwards
Hope that is of some help
Kind regards

There is a word before Ty Newydd.
It looks like:
Nr Ty Newydd
ie near (the) new houses

In the 1871 census Tynewydd is treated as a road/lane/street. Isaac (57yrs) and Mary John live at 1Tynewydd; the preceeding road is numbered dwellings listed as 1 Bwlchmynydd etc. The next road has dwellings numbered 1 Bryn Cottages etc, they being near Bryn Farm, which may still exist. Ty newydd, which means New House, may have been a farm or smallholding. The small word before Ty newydd in 1861 is, I think, 'nr' (near). No obvious pubs, shops nearby in 1871.
