Just a point to note the parishexof llanystymdwy in the West dolbenmaen to the north and ynys cynhaearn to the West encircled Criccieth and it could depend on which side of the lane the property was on . Look at the national library of Scotland old maps online to pinpoint the farms

 Thanks again Mabel for the heads up about the Llanystumdwy birth place of Elinor and Eliseus. I had printed out the 1851 transcription and the original image but stupidly had not read it properly!  :-\

Here is a link to a couple of obituaries for Elin and her son William plus an advert for the sale of the farm stock after Elin's death.  Since Henry would seem to be a prominent member of the community I am surprised not find any articles on him.

Fascinating! Thanks Glyn. I've never had any luck with newspaper searches. Must try a search for Bodgauaf Uchaf!

Thanks again to Mabel for finding Elinor and Anne Griffith in 1841 living at Cefyn Isaf, Llanystumdwy. Definitely them because two more children born there in 1841 and 1844 - certificates establish that without a doubt. However, the father Henry (Cae Harry) and his eldest daughter Jane, my GGrandmother still AWOL in 1841. A mystery! Thanks again to everyone for your help
