Born in Llywel, Trallong or Llandeilo'r Fan?
« on: Thursday 28 August 14 16:56 BST (UK) »
Someone on my tree has all these places given as her birthplace on different censuses. They're all quite close together. Looking at a modern map, Llandeilo'r Fan seems to be very small, the other two slightly bigger. I'm wondering if the explanation for the inconsistencies might be that she came from a farm in the general area?

Llandeilo'r Fan is quite remote, even today and is little more than a hamlet.  Trallong is a bit bigger but as you say, not too far away.  Llywel nowadays is little more than the church and a couple of houses.  However, Llywel is also the name of the parish so it is possible that that's what is referred to rather than the place.
