Thanks Treharne,
Yes,they were non conformist-my great grandfather was an elder of Bethel chapel I think. Dan was baptized at Henllan chapel in 1822,And I know his father was James,but I am still uncertain where he was born.

I ntoice on this thread that several contributors have knowledge of records relating to Phillips' in Pembrokeshire. My ancestor Levi Phillips was according to the censuses born at Llanddewi circa 1820 and later moved and lived with his family in Aberdare. Wife's name Mary. He died after 1871. Would be very grateful to hear from anyone who knows of a connection to his family or has information regarding him or his family.

My ancestors were Griffith. Dan married Mary Phillip of Stepin in 1850, and members of the family lived there until 1951. Great grandfather Stephen lived opposite the Parc y Lan inn in a row of cottages just named Commercial. After the 1871 census ,the Phillip family and the Griffith family had an s added to their names for some reason.
My ancestors worked for the owners of the Henllan estate. If anyone knows the whereabouts of the archives, which could contain pictures of tenants and buildings, I would be most grateful.  Lyndar

Two of my great great grandparents were from Llandewi Velfrey and lived at Parc-y-lan Inn. They were William Stephens and Frances Griffiths who married 7 November 1845 at the parish church LLandewi Velfrey. Frances's father was Thomas Griffiths, a cooper, and her mother I believe was called Margaret. I can't help you with any other information at the moment, but I'll check my 2 volumes of "Efailwen to Whitland" to see whether I can find any further information.

Thanks Treharne. To my knowledge we have no Thomas in the family, but all these people must have known one another.
