Place name help, please

[StevieSteve]

Going back to the tithe maps but at Carno rather than Llanbrynmair, I've found some entries for those mentioned in the 1841 census.

Rhosfach 1299
Bryneithin 58 - 62

More to follow hopefully, but that site is rather resource-hungry I think

Hi StevieSteve
It looks like you have them pinned down now - aren't the tithe maps a gem !

Mar

[StevieSteve]

Hi Mar, yes they are indeed 

Unfotunately, I've had to stop for the day and am away for a few days from tomorrow so they'll stay unpinned just a little longer.

Thanks for all your help with this

Myrddyn Llwyd is in the parish of Llanerfyl township of Cefn Llys Ucha. It was normal for early nonconformists to walk to services at Hen Gapel Llanbrynmair

Thanks muchly, cennydd.

If you'd been around on Thursday, I'd have missed out on a lot of interesting map-trawling 

Is the source for that online?

Myrddyn Llwyd doesn't seem to be named on any of the historic maps except for that found by MarMnkly. However there is a building in that location on the maps, including the current Ordnance Survey on Bing Maps - zoom in to the largest scale.

Small extract attached, to help identify it.

Thanks David. I only have access by phone right now but I'll have a look when I get home tomorrow.

Everyone's efforts have convinced me that the Brees's at Myrdyr Llywd are separate from the ones at Escairgareg who are my ancestors. I hope I have as much success pinpointing that place as you've had with the other

Thanks again

I can find the property in the censuses up to 1881,generally listed(sometimes just as Merddyn) next to Castell and Rhyd Du(sometime occupied by Evan and Eleanor Brees).It also seems close to Pen Ffridd Newydd and Bryn Mawr.The maps available tend to be 1886 onward.I can find all the proerties mentioned except for Myrddyn Llwyd.

Roger, thank you

I'm sorry, but I'm running out of ways to stress that I'm now interested in Esgairgareg which I believe to be a little west of Carno
