Place name help, please

[StevieSteve]

Thanks very much for looking, Mike, I appreciate it.

I'll have to look into whether I can find some connection with South Wales (although my relation is one of the Escairgarry lot so will be happy to eliminate the other two)

What time period are we looking at,  the Elizabeth Llywarch who married William Breese was born
1763 so any births after 1810 or so are not going to be to this couple.

[StevieSteve]

The timeline goes

1786 William Breese m Elizabeth Llywarch

1788 bp Elizabeth, My..etc

1792 William Brees of Carno m Elizabeth Edward

1793 bp William, Es...etc

1797 bp John, M

1799 bp Evan, E

1801 bp Samuel, E

1803 bp Abraham, E

1805 bp Richard & Ann, twins, E

1807 bp Hanna, E


Then there are other William / Elizabeth baptisms at

1809  Mary, Comeddon (sp)
1810  Elinor, Carno
1811 Margaret, Meiffod

Abraham is the one I'm interested in and in the 1851 census is down as born in Carno

I read that as Myrddynllwyd - the baptism entry for John b1797 has it as Myrthynllwd (grey merlin).

[StevieSteve]

Thanks Galium

Unfortunately searching for Myrthynllwd on Google gets me

Your search - Myrthynllwd - did not match any documents.

Did you mean: Martin Lewis

Google is not very good on the Welsh language  , another eye is great, especially as the South Wales connection is later than the period we are looking at.

The William from carno has a Samuel and Richard in his family, but it is too easy to make assumptions. I don't have access to all the census but what is Elizabeth the mothers age in 1851.

[StevieSteve]

I haven't really got started on the censuses yet but in 1841 in Montgomeryshire there's

Carneddau Elizabeth, 70 poss mother of William, 35 also with Elizabeth 45

Fynon Arthur:   William Elizabeth, both 65 poss parents of William 30, Ann 20

Llanellygan Elizabeth 60 with John 20

Trefolwen: John & Elizabeth both 55


1851 to follow

[StevieSteve]

In 1851, I think there's only

William 80 farmer Llanenfyl
Elizabeth 75 b Llanchoidr, "Demby"

with

Evan Williams Son in Law
Elizabeth Williams 31 Llanfhangel

[StevieSteve]

On this 1760 mapo there's a place called Martha??? between Aberangell & Llanvoring
