Thank you for the information Alan and Sue.
18 miles seems a far enough distance that someone would not state they were from Norton if they were actually born in Cefnllys unless Cefnllys was a small village and Norton was a larger town. In Googling Cefnllys, it appears it went into decline in the 1800's so maybe it hardly existed when the 1851 Census was taken.
If you (or anyone else) is familiar with the area, can you give me your thoughts?
Do you think the National Library of Wales could shed some light on this or do you know of a genealogical or history association that might be able to help?
Thanks.
Cathy
