I now realise that Cwmffrwddoer Inn is not in Cwmffrwddoer, and Cwmffrwddoer
is below Blaen-y-cwm.

Subject: Re: [Bla'Gwent] Cwmffrwddoer
Is Cwmffrwddoer just south of Pentrepoid or south of Old Furnace,
because
before I read the Old Pontypool book 1, I believe Cwmffrwddoer was below
Pentrepoid, but the book said that the Glyn Pits were in the valley below
Cwmffrwddoer. I thought the Glyn Pits were near Old Furnace, in the Race
area.
Can these things be consistent with what is correct?
Would I be right in assuming that someone living in Cwmffrwddoer would
more
likely work at the Tranch Colliery of Llanerch, than at Glyn,
Glenault, or
Tirpentwys?

When typing a surname? YES! Absolutely! A must! For general text? NO!
It's shouting, bad manners (Netiquette) and hard to find surnames.
