Thanks for the help, I'm satisfied as to where Wynnstay Hamlets are located. Though as a result of
Quote
Police station (Evan Griffiths, police constable and his family), Post office (John Edwards, single, grocer and draper)
I'll now have to look at another question. When Constable John Edwards married in 1892 he put Llandloes as his residence in the Marriage Register in Llanfechain and after marriage the couple went to live in Llanbrynmair. I now just wonder if John Edwards single, grocer and draper became Constable John Edwards post 1891 census. Seems one big coincidence if they're two separate people.

The 1891 census says
John Edwards, age 36, single, born Llanbrynmair
D. A. Edwards, age 29, sister, single, born Llanbrynmair (know she is Dora from previous census)

Forgot I'd written that in 1891 the 19 year old John Edwards who, having grown up in Llanyblodwel, was working, and living, at Penybont Hall near Penybont Llanerch Emrys in the Tanat Valley. So definitely two different people. Thanks.
