Bit of googling identifies a hamlet called Halfway on the A40 between Trecastle and Llandovery - there's a memorial to a coaching accident caused by a drunk driver there

There is a small cluster of houses at Halfway, a derelict Baptist Chapel with M.Is and nearby chapels/graveyards at Pentrefelin & Cefnarthen. Which families are you interested in?

There are quite a few cottages at Halfway which seems to string itself out along the A40 for quite a long way.  One of the cottages there - Tre Nicholas - does have links with the Nicholas family of Trecastle and I am sure that there will be links with other cottages too.  As Garfydd says, there is a derelict chapel which can be accessed from the main road.  Flowers are still placed on the graves there so there so it is not a totally forgotten area.

As you must appreciate Thomas Jones with a d/o Mary will be a very frequent occurence, do you have any approx. dates? I have a lot of Llywel data will give it a try but given the above proviso an immediate search would not be very profitable=could be looking at any from 1800-1940!.
