Thank you Pauline,
I did try & it didn't work, will try again (or get my 13yr old daughter to have
a look for me!!!).
I was interested mainly to find out if Llanllwch was near Llanycrwys. Its a long story,
trying to solve a family mystery (a missing father, no one ever knew who he was etc
etc!!).
I found a postcard in with some photos in my husbands Aunts house, it wasn't
addressed to his family it was sent to a neighbour but for some reason it was in his
family's house. The story goes that his Mamgu was in service abt 1900/1901somewhere in
Carmarthenshire & came home pregnant & had a baby who was brought up by an older
married sister & husband as theirs. The "child" was only told as an older
man that his mother wasn't his mother etc etc. None would say who the father was,
except "Tailor" was mentioned, no one knew if it meant his name was Taylor or
that he was a Tailor. I recently traced the marriage for Mamgus parents & found her
mother was from Llanycrwys & then found Mamgus sister in service at the farm in 1901
where Mamgus mothers family were from.....& a few doors down was a tailor & living
with them was a 17yr old boy - Isaac Thomas, who was also a tailor!!! Im thinking that
maybe mamgu was also in service at the same farm as her sister!!!
My brain has been going round in circles since finding this info, but obviously no way
of proving anything. Just playing detective. I don't expect you follow any of that,
but I know what I'm talking about!!
Any thoughts or advice would be great!!

Hello Catrin,
Thank you for that, Im trying to find out if it is near, where I have
relatives in Llancrwys, I cant find it on LDS 1881 census. Trying to do a
little detective work, its a long story, but am trying to find out if it
near Llancrwys or Llanwada to put 2 & 2 together & most probably come up
with 5, as always!!!!
Must get a map, but dont know where it is in 1881!!!
Thanks

Hello Jam
It's a small place just on the outskirts of Carmarthen. There's a small
road turning just off the A40 west out of Carmarthen, very near to the
Agricultural Showground.
I went there a couple of years ago looking for a Davies relative.
