Wern Wyth, Llanelli

Hello--
Can someone pinpoint where Wern Wyth is or was??
I know it was in the Glyn Hamlet of Llanelli.
Thank you.

there is an article on Lannelli Hospital 1867 and it mentions a Thomas Morris from Wern (run over by a train in 1858.

The translation to English for "Wern" is tit, quagmire swamp
translation for Wyth is eight
so could it be an address of no 8 Wern??

Could you post where on census it is mentioned?

Hi--
    David Thomas lives there in 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871--and maybe beyond.
All in Llanelly. He was born about 1799/1800--wife was Mary.
I tried to send page--too big.

It looks to me like most of  the houses have names - in part of the 1841 census addresses are just "werm" -so maybe the address was  8 Werm??

there was an independant chapel built 1770 named Capel Als (Alice) on Marble Hall Rd/Werm Rd which in 1851 had at least 1000 worshipping there

The description of the enumerator's walk in 1841 is "all that part of the Borough Hamlet lying to the right of the road through the Wern from its junction with Westfal? to ?wppellal?? & from there to Marble Hall
