It's possible, but William is a medical assistant, in myfanwys bith cert , she did tell me he was a doctor but I can find no record of this.
Also there is a memory of a hotel,pub, maybe on the Davies side. Thanks for you interest Jill

Think so!
Found a google reference to a market in Cardigan town, called Pwllhai.
There's also a Gwbert Hotel in Cardigan!

Pwllhai is within Cardigan Town itself, along the riverbanks between the castle and the church (if I've got my bearings right)

Going north from the bridge, one end of Pwllhai begins at the top of the high street on the right  and meanders around eastwards a bit, crossing Morgan Street and down towards the river. There's a Pwllhai road sign  on the Red Lion Pub. 

The Cliff Hotel used to be the Gwbert Inn and it's got a flat roof so maybe that's where the roller skating took place.

I think we have established where Pwllhai is. What I am trying to find is a family connection in the district to my grandmother Myfanwy Jones father was  a doctor? Or medical assistant in Pwllhai
I cannot find the family on any census .

I think we have established where Pwllhai is.

Sorry, it didn't look to me as though you had....

I visited Cardigan some years ago and found Pwllhai ,before I started  the family tree,
I think I must return and try to find out more from there,as I now live in Australia it takes some organizing.
Thank you for your help .Regards Jill

Hi Jill,

I have found a death of a William Llewelyn Jones of Tuberculosis in 1909. If this is him, do you know when he was born. I am finding that William Llewelyn Jones is quite a common name.

Welsh newspapers on line   http://welshnewspapers.llgc.org.uk/en/home

If you search for "pwllhai" and limit your search to 1892 (use slider bar), there is an item in the Cambrian News and Merionethshire Standard, 13 May 1892, that mentions a William Llewellyn Jones, an Elizabeth Davies and a Mary Tudor Davies

Just returning to this thread!

You say Myfanwy was born in April 1893?
So I assume this is the birth?

March qtr 1893
Cardigan district    vol 11b, page 8
Jones, Myfanwy Gwendoline


Or was it this one?

March qtr 1893
Cardigan district    vol 11b, page 7
Jones, Gwladus Myfanwy


What was her father's name on the birth certificate?
