Abergwesyn place names
« on: Friday 24 May 13 09:49 BST (UK) »
Hello. I'd be grateful if anyone can identify the location of Loftybar and Boidybach in Llandewi Abergwesin. I suspect they were farms and they appear in a parish register of 1834.  Many thanks, Salt.

Hi Salt,

Yes, Loftybar was a farm run by the Jones family in 1841 and I suspect Boidybach to be the same or a small holding. My family were farmers from Abergewsyn too.
