John (49) and Margaret (9) were there in 1851.

No sign of John junior and Rees. John senior seems to have acquired a new wife and step-daughter:

Sarah Evans 42 born Lledrod
Catherine Jones 12 born Lledrod

Gadget, it is 'to bach' in Welsh - little roof.

'Ty bach' means small house. In the days of outside loos it was used to refer to the toilet!

I have a friend who makes hand-made historical shoes for re-enactment, museums and so on. She works from precise foot measurements and shape drawings, rather than generic lasts, so each shoe or boot is a perfect fit for the wearer (and very comfortable they are, too).

She says that Viking-descended feet and Anglo-Saxon descended feet have very different, and distinctive, shape profiles.

How does she know who is 'Viking-descended' or 'Anglo-Saxon-descended' a thousand years after these supposed ethic groups disappeared into the wider mix?
