Hi,
I would like to know if anyone can help me with a place called BRYNBACH in or around Llandebie. I don't
know if it was/is a farm or an area. My ggg gr mother Lettice/Lettica Evans lived there when she
married my ggg gr father David Roberts. Her fathers name was Evan Evans and if anyone could also
her mothers' name or an approx year of her parents marriage, I would be very very happy.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Seviad,
it might be a bit far fetched, but I have an extract from the 1841 census for Conwil Caio - about 30 km from Llandybie.
The head of household was Evan Evans, one of his daughters was Lettice. I also have them in the 51 census, and am trying to confirm or reject the connection to my family.
Evan was a farmer and cooper.
If this family sound like yours, let me know, I'll pass on the info.

Hello,
My grandfather, Moses Williams, bought this small holding and I have a copy of the auction notice.
It is dated 1919 and has Mr. Moses Williams as the occupant at the time. I can email you a copy if you like.
Regards
Irene Evans

"CONWIL CAIO. FREAK OF NATURE. A cow, the property of Mr Evan Evans, Cwmissa Farm, recently gave birth to a calf having two distinct heads and two pairs of front legs; from the shoulder forward it was double, and it had two tails. The cow is progres,sing quite favourably, but the calf did not survive. The farrier called in to assist the cow, for of course, it had to be assisted, was Mr Thomas Williams, Cwmllynfeuchaf, Llansadwrn"
