I'm not sure whether this is helpful. David Thomas's address is written as Wern chwith (not Wern Wyth) though they seem to refer to the same place (see list of LLanedi place names). Google came up with a reference to the foundations of an old farmstead called Wern chwith at http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/107262/details/wern-chwith-farmstead#site-details. The location seems to roughly correspond with that of the Glyn Hamlet (NW of Llanelli). I have no idea what the history of the farmstead is or whether it's relevant to your search.

Both names are also mentioned in a list of Llanedi parish place-names: https://sites.google.com/site/llanediparishplacenames/t---y

Hope this helps,
Mike
