Thank you both for your replies. 
Miri - i will meet up with my friend later this week and see if she has any more details that might be of interest to you.  What is your interest / connection to Kurt ?
And thank you DaveCapps for all that information. That will certainly add to the information my friend is looking for. Amd possibly helpful to Miri.  Not sure if my friend knew about the first marriage. 
Will be in touch in a day or two again

That sounds really promising.  Thank you for pointing it out to me.  I have only just found Cynefin and am not sure how to use it.  Can you search for places yet?  I have had a look at the Blaenporth map but how do i find Fron Goch?  Perhaps there is no easy way! 

Many thanks

Thank you Mar. Just had time to really look at the Cynefin project. Its really interesting. I shall certainly try and do some transcribing when I have some time.  And looking at Cenarth like that so fascinating.
Thank you so much for your advice and help
  Much appreciated

Yes i agree with those names but I can find them as yet.  I did think a C could be used instead of a K   As in the village. Early census used Kenarth and it gradually changed to Cenarth.
But that still leaves me wondering about Kefengarfog?  I am assuming that was a house name?  Or a farm possibly.   It was mentioned in John's will as well as Anna's.
Continue with the search....  !
Best wishes

Just had chance to go through the documents.  Fascinating.  Yes John and Anna are Hannah's parents.  But she is in the will but called Anna - wife of Henry Jones . 
I am having trouble trying to decipher the places mentioned in Anna's will.  And even more trouble finding them!   None of them mean anything to me.  But if they are just farms then they will  not be on any maps I suppose. 
But thanks for your help.

That is fantastic.  Thank you Mar.
I did try to find a will for John on the NLW site but perhaps I was doing somethimg wrong as nothing came up.  How marvellous - i can now enjoy myself filling in the gaps! 
Thank you so much.

Pembrokeshire / Abercych Forge Cych

Wonder if someone could help.  Margaret Jones, my G grandmother's birth certificate says she was born in 1849 at Forge Cych, Manordivy.  Doing some research I find that this is actually in Abercych. 

Her parents lived at Aberdwylan, Dolbryn hamlet, Cenarth and most of her siblings were born there.  I have wondered why Margaret was born at Forge Cych.

Looking on the 1851 census [the one nearest to Margaret's birth ] it looks as if  Forge Cych is a collection of small houses next to each other mainly inhabited by paupers and pensioners.  Hannah's maiden name was Evans  but I cannot find any link to Evans in the list of residents. 
The only other clue maybe that at Forge Cych Mill there is a David Evans as Miller. 

Now Hannah was born at Cenarth Mill in 1816 as her father, John was the Miller there. I can only trace two siblings for Hannah, John b. 1821 and Esther b. 1811.   
David  b. 1806 actually may be a bit old to be Hannah's brother and it looks as though he was born in Brongwyn ..... and the birth certificate does not say Forge Cych Mill just Forge Cych. 

Can anyone link Hannah to David Evans at the Mill?  Or any suggestions about Forge Cych.  Would really appreciate any help.   Thank you

Pembrokeshire Lookup Requests / Re: Clydey, Pembrokeshire : Marriage abt 1798

Dear Mar
Oh that looks exciting!  Will have to keep all those names in mind as I continue searching. 1770 does seems to be the birth year - it works out on all the census records and the death record that I have found.  But I know a year or two either side is still possible. 
Thank you for taking the time to check.  Much appreciated.
