In that 1891 census,Shop Tyn y Gongl and Tyn y Gongl Farm are listed next to Tyn y Pwll and Tyn y Pwll Bach(as well as Mynachlog and Tyddyn Fadog as other "sighters").Approximate postcode LL74 8SL.

It says, "Ty'n Y Pwll Bach"  ...  there may be a house close by named "Ty'n Y Pwll" The first means either 'the house by the small pool' or 'The small house by the pool'.

That looks more like the snip!  :)

I can't see it marked on the NLS map near Tyn y Gongl - maybe it is/was too small to make note of. Might be worth checking other maps though if you would like to find it's location.

From the information that Despair gives regarding the 'sighters' contained in the 1891 Census it looks as though the location of Ty'n Y Pwll Bach, and Ty'n Y Pwll is in the area where the shop and Ty'n Y Gongl Farm are located. There are quite a few places shown here, huddled together and, due to lack of space, will not have been named on the map.

I have never heard the term "sighters", but what you are saying about the places all huddled together, and not named, makes sense Viking. :)

Just my own term for significant other properties listed close by that may help identify the location of the property of interest.

Hi - I can confirm that Thomas Roberts lived at both Plas Ucha farm and later Tyn Y Pwll Bach in Llanfair Mathafarn Eithaf (modern Benllech). He was my Great Great Grandfather and was born in Penmon, Anglesey in 1825. I have managed to follow his path via Ancestry and confirmed his identity on his daughter Ann's wedding certificate. All of the places mentioned in the discussion still exist today and the little old farmhouse still exists alongside the later bigger house at Plas Ucha.
