Hi,
I was quite surprised to see another response to my post.  I had worked out the location of Losged, 2 years ago.  A combination of posts on here and my own knowledge of the area.  I have driven that road many times, in the past, but that was long before I developed an interest in genealogy and so have never visited.  It's interesting that your wife's ancestors lived there at the same time as mine.  I wonder if she has inherited any old documents that might have Robert Candrick's name.  Thank you for responding.

Best Wishes

Hi Roger, 

I have the 1901 census.  I'm not sure that you have the correct family.  I have a Margaret Ann not an Ann Margaret.  Margaret Ann married a Robin Valentine Collins/Collings, in 1906, not a Crongie Fowler.  By the way, It's Gelligaer not Gelligan.  In 1901 the family was living at 1 Gwerthonor Place, Gilfach, Bargoed,  In the parish of Gelligaer.  In the 1911 census, Margaret and Robin are living at 29 St Anne's Rd, Gilfach, Bargoed with their 2 children, son Thomas Llewellyn and daughter Doris.  Both are buried, together,at St Catwg's Churchyard, Gelligaer.

Best Wishes

Hello,

It's that old Ecclesiastical/ civil parish thing again!  Would Llywel come under Defynnog civil parish?  In the FindMyPast baptismal parish records, how does one know if a marriage occurred in Llywel church or Llanspyddid church in 1821, given that they are in the same parish?  I have a family member married in Llywel parish but census give birth as 1774/1776 Defynnog.

Thanks for your help, once again!

Thank you all for your replies.  I had looked at the area, on page 1, covered by the census but a search did not find any dwellings called Losged.  I am Welsh, so I do know the meaning of Llanilltyd and have researched it, but again thank you.  The hint for Cwmcamlais was most helpful and a google search of that brought up a great old ordinance survey map.  From that I have narrowed the area to that around Forest Lodge and Forest Lodge Cottages as Llwynfedwen is the entry before and Blaenclyn the entry after Losged.  It might be a wild guess but Forest Lodge Farm and Cottages is the only farm of any great size in that area, although  Neuadd Cwmcamlais, further north, was also a large property.   It's just strange to have so many dwellings with the same name!  Also found that it was the area called Fforrest Fawr (the Great Forest).  Again thanks.
