Help with place name needed please
« on: Monday 12 April 21 10:00 BST (UK) »
My great great grandfather was baptised in Nevern church with his brother but I cannot decipher the "abode".  I am hoping that this may help me as looking for Rees in Wales is tricky!  thank you to anyone able to help

Sorry Rosie - yes it was a bit bright and I have just attempted to change the colour but failed miserably. I have therefore deleted that extract altogether.

My apologies.

So after all that -- the likely place name wasn't on Genuki !!

The story of my life -- I think you are right also Drosybont. Well done.

A bit late to the party and not sure if you've seen this map:

Apologies if you've seen it but didn't see a link on the thread.
