Abode on baptism
« on: Saturday 08 December 12 13:43 GMT (UK) »
I just found my gt-gt-grandfather's baptism (whoo hoo!) but I don't understand the abode...

I don't know if it means something in Welsh or whether it is a house name (in which case, most of the houses in my Welsh family seem to be translatible, like "the house on the ridge by the river with the tree"... (I'm sort of joking at the moment that it looks like he lived in a greenhouse...)

I was hoping someone might be able to help me with this :) Thanks in advance.

It looks like Glanhafren to me.  You don't say which parish this christening is in.  :-\
