Location of a house or farm M___ Isaf, St Mary's Parish, 1851
« on: Friday 04 March 22 23:08 GMT (UK) »
The sheet for the 1851 Census where some of my relatives are enumerated is difficult to read. 
I can read St. Mary's Parish, but I can't make out the "City" in the center top blocks.  That might help me.
It looks like Rachel Davies and family were living in a house or on a farm named M{something} Isaf. 
I recognize "isaf" means farthest.  But, I can't find a dwelling or farm with that name in St. Mary's Parish.  Google is no help, either!
All suggestions will be appreciated.

Mwldan Isaf is the area of Cardigan that now has the Gateway/Somerfield/CoOp supermarket although I believe it now is a Christian Centre. There were previously houses alongside the road and an iron foundry. There used to be a drawbridge too, but is now a simple footbridge. Opposite the footbridge is an old sailmaking warehouse, I believe.

Picking up on this. I didn't notice this in the OPs post

I recognize "isaf" means farthest

Isaf and variations usually means lower, in relation to the sighting of a place, as opposed to uchaf, meaning upper.

My apologies for failing to thank everyone for help with this.  2022 was a challenging year.  I did a bit of research in 2023, but not my Dyfed ancestry.
