Morris / Roberts - Llwyn Bugeilydd, Cricieth

[ArwelONeill]

Hi all,

Having discovered that my ancestor Ellis Morris (b. abt. 1798), wife Catherine (b. abt. 1801) and family of (at least) 10 children lived at Llwyn Bugeilydd, Cricieth for more than 100 years, I would be very interested to know if any RootsChatters have any information about the Morrises or in fact, Llwyn Bugeilydd itself.

I have found some interesting facts and stories about some of the Morrises, Llwyn Bugeilydd as well as finding some very confusing mistakes in many a census return which have taken me hours to get my head around!

I know that a number of the female members of the family, married into a branch of the Roberts family and I believe that the current owners of Llwyn Bugeilydd are Roberts too.  I can only guess that they may be decended from the same line.  It would be very interesting to know.

If anyone has any information at all, I would be eternally greatful!

Gyda diolch ymlaen llaw...

Cofion,

When you type the name into Google streetview it comes up with a campsite just north of Criccieth with a photo of the house. It is shown as Rober Roberts so that must be the house! ?

What a lovely setting!

Ah thank you for that The Mc.  I've visited Cricieth this morning and found google to be incorrect!  If you use google streetview from the point where it takes you (which is Gell Farm) and travel a short way towards Cricieth itself, you will see the famhouse (Llwyn Bugeilydd) on the left.  You can actually see the sign by the road.

I didn't have the guts to stop and knock on the door though!  Maybe I should!

Thanks again

Arwel
