Grooms Place of Residence - Wales

[Sassenach73]

Hi to all

Struggling to read the grooms residence on the attached marriage certificate - I know it was in the parish of Llanelltyd in Wales and it may be "Cy something Bach" - the bride is from Cae'r Tyddyn - they were married in Dolgellau.  Tried looking on old historical maps et al but to no avail.

If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

TIA

Could it be a variant spelling of Ceseilgwm bach ?

Ah, it could possibly be - I'm really not familiar with many Welsh place names to be honest - The year before this he was on the 1841 census at Ceseilgwm Mawr and I wondered at first, wishful thinking lol,  if it was an alternative way of spelling that....I shall have a look and see what I can find with Ceseilgwm Bach (which google keeps changing to Cilgwyn Bach)

If you follow the link I gave you above, you'll see they're adjacent in the census, mawr = big, bach = small.

Thank you - I had pinpointed this place before when writing up the 1841 census - do you think it could be the same place, spelled differently?

Yes, I'm now trying to see how they could have spelled it differently a year later
