Think there may have been another son John, the name Snell does not seem to be that common in area.

Maybe some of the other children birth/death certs may help trace or give more info?

Difficult one...

List of counties in Ireland

https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/irl/

See counties ending in 'th' it could possibly be Meath or Louth. Both were in the province of Leinster as well as Dublin.  Unless she named an area more local to birthplace.

Info see Terminology- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_Ireland

Possibly Llanwddyn? - dd in Welsh is pronounced th. So it would sound spoken like 'Lanwethin' or simular, depending on dialect.

It does look like Llanw.....

https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/MGY/indexpars#L

The last few letters look to me like -rhyn, so from this list and with a bit of variant spelling, could it be Llanwrin?

Could well be without anymore clues and so early on it is difficult to say.

But I don't know any English person (likely enumerator) that would spell the sounding wrin/rin as rhyn.

Just my thoughts
