Anyone heard of Llanercheilan or is it a mistranscription?
« on: Wednesday 02 September 09 16:24 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I have a transcript of a baptism at Llansanffraid-ym-Mechain in 1790 and the abode is listed as Llanercheilan. The transcript is of the old site Family History Online. I haven't been able to find this place, so has anyone heard of it or know what it might be if it is a mistranscription?

Thanks,
Chesters.

Llan(n)ercheilian would look like a perfectly reasonable Welsh name, if a mistranscription is involved; don't recognise the name though, so you really need local knowledge, I think.
Sorry,

I google mapped and found

Llanerchaeron, Ciliau Aeron, Lampeter, Dyfed, United Kingdom

If you google Llanerch quite a few hits come up
