Sylvaen

[alan w jones]

A bit of a long shot , I have an address on the 1841 census giving Holly Bush in the township of Sylvaen , Castle Caereinion and would hopefully try to pinpoint the location . Any help would be appreciated , thank you

It would appear the place is now known as Sylfaen, and is about 4 miles west of Welshpool.
There are many Google references to be found under this name.

Are you familiar with Welsh Tithe maps  https://places.library.wales

In Search box pop "sylfaen mill" (include the "   " as part of search key) - returns 3 hits

Click on "View Map" of hit 2. Your rellie at Holly Bush appears on the Census page following the entry for Sylfaen Mill.
"Cottage" following your rellie's entry might be Sylfaen Cottage marked on the map (but there are several "Cottage" only entries on  the Census sheets).
Lower Sylfaen on Census sheet is marked on map.

Check also hit 3 - "View map".

Pob lwc

Thanks everyone , I just saw his name on the Welsh Tithe maps as Landowner Humphrey Humphreys , I didn't for some reason see the census or Holly Bush mentioned though .
