Hi All,
I've successfully located an ancestor, John Evans, born in Llanelltyd in 1857. On closer inspection of the document, it states the family abode as, Maes Tryfan, (I think), with the Father, William, being a Farmer. I started to look for the name of a farmhouse maybe....but could find nothing. I then searched the term Maes Tryfan to find that there was a street, of 37 metres, near the village of Groelson, some 38 miles away from Llanelltyd! (Apparently the only street in Britain with that name) - I then wondered if they would have travelled that far to baptise a child OR is it still possible that there was a building/farmhouse of that name within the village of Llanelltyd? On the registry searches it always comes back as him being born and baptised in Llanelltyd. Other abodes in the registry do seem to be in localities within a couple of miles from Llanelltyd, eg, Dolgellau! Any help here would be most appreciated!

TIA

. EDIT - I believe Maes Tryfan translates to Tryfan Field - with Tryfan being a mountain, again, about 41 miles away!!
