How strange! I googled for a map of Llandefeilog and this thread appeared. Just as I was thinking - I really must do some more research on my family tree, especially my mum's side.
Do you know the name of Mary's actual 'home'?
I ask as I'm tracking my ancestry, but so far only got to the 1820s with my maternal family. They are Jones, still living in Idole, been there a few generations.
Even though Idole was so sparsely populated especially in the 1800s (three houses, a few farms and a couple of 'big houses' with land).. we may possibly have a family link. If not, I may have some info or can get pics for you of/from the area if you like. Off back home in a few weeks again.
Gelli Geiros is still there. The name Moelfre has gone - not used to describe the area any longer (as far as I know), although Moelfre farm still exists. Lots of boundary changes over time - it gets confusing.
I'm so stunned to see something...anything about Idole on a site let alone on an ancestry one.. I don't know what else to say lol. Hope the above makes sense.
I've just joined to reply to this thread... so off to have a look-see around the place. Hope I can find my way back here
