Deciphering 1813-18 baptism locations and occupations (Welsh)

[teach3r]

Good evening and thank you in advance for any help that can be given.

I have attached baptism entries from 1813-18 for siblings of my 3x G-grandfather.  I would be grateful if anyone can decipher the last two columns for address and profession please.

Thank you,

Nic

address:

Ty wrth y fynword (? not sure about the 'word' part)  add - I think it could be fynwent

Llan (usually meaning the village in these entries)

Thanks Gadget - so, would it translate as "House at the ? in the village" (in this case, Gwyddelwern, Merionethshire)?

[Gadget]

Yes -

I have an ancestor who was baptised there and they also entered Llan or yn Llan in her entry.

I'm wondering if the occupation in the first one is the Welsh for grocer - in Welsh it  maybe groser

fynwent, according to Google, translates as graveyard.  So house by/at the graveyard

My Welsh is very rusty

Thank you Gadget,

House by the graveyard seems interesting as there is only one graveyard in Gwyddelwern.  Quite tantalising!

I'm not sure if you're familiar with Gwyddelwern church.  I've found this photo that I took in 2005. It's only small so I've enlarged it - a few pixels showing 

Add - I'll look out the original and post it, if you'd like a copy

   The English translation of Llan is 'church'

Sorry you are wrong in this instance. Llan is often thought of as meaning Church but used  in parish records it means the village. In fact, Llan originally referred to the area around the church - village.

As I said:

Llan (usually meaning the village in these entries)
