Thank you for your suggestions, but the word on the document is definitely
Slaine. I wonder if it was incorrectly copied from somewhere else (e.g.
attestation papers), in which case it might have been Llanelly originally.
Thanks,
Denise

Dear All
Please are you able to tell us if we can trace gravestones in the
graveyard of Llandybie church yet. Last time I tried you Pauline gave me
all the help you could as to where any particular grave would be but since
the one I'm interested in
Nimrod Jones and Elizabeth his wife, Waunboeth, Llandybie
is flat on the floor and partly overgrown, it was impossible to find.
Thank you
Eleri

I have the Royal Navy record of an ancestor. On it he gives his place of
birth as Slaine, South Wales.
I can't find this place on any maps or gazetteers. Is there such a place,
or did he make it up? He came from the Seaside area of Llanelli.
Thank you.
Denise

You can?t find it because it is proably Llaine, not Slaine.

Hi Denise
Do you know his birthdate
Looking him up on the index might givea further clue - what was his
name? If you don't know his birth date could you guess at it?
If you hadn't mentioned Llanelli I was going to suggest that Blaina
could be misread as Slaina or Slaine as a B can often be confused with S.
