Hello, Thank you for your reply but I am
unable to locate Cydweli on my 1:100,000 scale map
of Wales. Is there a chance that I am looking in the wrong
place for my g.grandfather?.

Pauline and David,
There is a Llangadog just just north of Cydweli, in fact so close it might
be considered a suburb but that is the wrong way of describing it....not so
near Llandilo!
Is there another one near Llandilo?
Diolch,
Rhodri.
