Garn Uchaf, Mathry
« on: Sunday 02 August 15 15:20 BST (UK) »
Spur of the moment decision to visit Mathry and surrounding area tomorrow (Monday) to see a number of places where my ancestors lived, and were married, buried etc.

I've seen pictures of Croesgoch Baptist chapel and the Rehoboth independent chapel, and have found Treglemais Fach (4 generations lived there), Rhoslanog, Trevellyn, Ty Llwyd, Tredel and Mesur-y-Dorth, all places listed on the various censuses and marriage certificates (I assume these are farms or little groups of houses :-\).

But one place I can't find on either google maps or streetmap is Garn Uchaf, Mathry, where my great grandfather was born in 1856. I realise it may not still be there (though I can find Garn Isaf) but just thought I'd ask before our visit in case anyone with local knowledge can help.

Many thanks,

Deirdre

Apologies, just found it on oldmaps :-[ (I can't usually find anything on there so forgot to look, but started by looking for Garn Isaf, and there it is, just down the road ;D.) 

Not sure if it's there any more, or if it's been re-named Bryn Awel :-\ But we can go and have a look.
