Where is Pentre Bwau, Ty'n Lon PO? Tracing the Roberts family tree.
« on: Friday 21 February 20 13:25 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I have two addresses in Ty'n Lon that appear on a birth certificate and on the census from the 1950s. 

I have been researching but I am a little confused.... The addresses are:

- Pentre Bwau, Ty'n Lon PO

- Pentre Bwa, Llanddrgan, Valley RD

- Pentre Bwa, Tynton, Holyhead.

I am guessing all the addresses above are the same but with various different spellings?

Is Pentre Bwa the same as Pentre Bwaan and Pentre Bwau? Is this the same area as LL65 3BJ?

I am not able to find Valley Road. Does the RD refer to something different than 'road.' Same for PO - what does this stand for?

So many questions - I'm sorry! Could anyone tell me a little more about Pentre Bwau and what it was like in the 1950s?

One of the people I am tracing in my family tree is Margaret J Roberts. She was born in 1910 and may have been married to David Roberts or Willliam Roberts. I think her maiden name was Williams. She lived at the address above with her daughter Gwyneth Roberts.

Thank so much.

Marie

Hi Marie
I'm sorry but if she could still be alive you have to remove her name as we are not allowed to discuss living persons here :)

Hi
Welcome to Rootschat  :)
I think Valley RD would be Valley Registration District (not road), a sub district? https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/anglesey%20west.html
a bit confusing as districts have changed over the years.
Same website useful for births , marriages and deaths although Williams/Roberts will be harder to search for.
The lady * you are looking for possibly born two years later than you thought in Anglesey West registration district. Though hard to say for certain as the surname is very prevalent of course!
I m sure other Rootschatters will have a better answer regarding areas, so keep checking back.

Cathy
ADDED * too many births for people with same names to be at all sure
Sinnock/Sinnicks...Brighton,Greenwich.
