Can anyone help with house names please? I've traced my great great grandmother(Mary Jones) to Penmynydd and found 2 possibe matches on the 1841 census. On pages 2 and 3 there are several houses under a name that looks like Orwel or Orsedd. I can't make out the handwriting and would like to know the name of the houses. Could these be the Almshouses? It seems an odd name (should be Elusendai) but I can't think of anywhere else with so many houses together. Also, there seems to be several families living there and I understand that the purpose of the Almshouses was to provide homes for single men.
