I think it is an effort at Pen-y-bwlch. Certainly the Pen-y is clear enough.

Penybwlch did exist in the Parish of Llanychaearn according to Genuki

Mmmm

But if the Recorder was English speaking, anything is possible

In 1911 the census firms were completed by the head of the household.

That's true!! Just terrible writing.

Having looked at the census entry, I think his place of birth was Penrhyncoch, a few miles from Aberystwyth.

There is an entry in the 1881 census RG11/5449/90/1 address Garth, Penrhyncoch in the township of Trefeurig.   All surnames Morgans, all born Llanbadarn Fawr

Edward,h, 34, lead miner
Mary, w, 34
Frederick, s, 9
Mary Elizabeth, d, 7
Jane, d, 5
Thomas John, s, 3
William David, s, 1
