Obviously not conclusive,but there is an 1776 baptism of a William Evan in Llangyfelach.

Hi Roy,
google books link below and then search inside with Langwelach
https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=cdErAAAAYAAJ
says that Glamorgan was divided into 10 hundreds (of which Langwelach was one) and then 118 parishes

Hi Mar
I googled Langwelach and came up with the same snippet; I tried posting it but for some reason it failed, not sure why. 

Thanks to all who posted a reply.

The cuttings reminded me immediately of a very well-known Welsh folk song dating from this period called 'Ffarwel i Langyfelach lon' (Farewell to happy Llangyfelach) which relates the unhappy experience of a young man persuaded to enlist. Google provides more details.
