Title: Address in Dowlais - Cwmhydybedd - Completed, Thank you!
Post by: teach3r on Saturday 12 June 10 08:55 BST (UK)

Hi,

I have just received the birth cert for Sarah Mary Morgans (22 May 1877) where to my best transcription the address is 47 Cwmhydybedd.  I would be grateful if anyone could confirm that this address did / does exist (can't find it on google maps) or alternatively what else it ould be?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Nic

Thank you so much Hanes Teulu!

Your are right, there is an 'r' so the address reads 47 Cwmrhydybedd.  Amazing how 1 letter changes things!  Thank you also for looking up the 1881 occupants.

Regards,

Nic
