Title: Pentrefielas
Post by: gwen j on Sunday 07 October 18 09:35 BST (UK)

Hi, looking for someone who has local knowledge of this area. I’m trying to find out more about a farm called Bryn Heilyn ( it’s stoll in existence ). My GGGrandmother was born there in 1812 but by the 1830’s the family were living in Cheshire/Lancashire. I’m interested in the History of the farm - Denbighshire archives have nothing about it. The name interests me Heilyn - as its associated with the Goch family of Betws and Penmachno - as Robert Roberts in reportedly a lineal descendant.

Have you tried the tithe maps, it may be there under its  name.
It will give name of landowner and occupier.

Hi Wilcoxon, thank you for your suggestion. I’ve found the farm on that site.
