Yvonne,
The house/farm name is more likely to be Bwlchycoed, Pencader.
Although I don't have an up-to-date map of the area, my reprint of the first
edition Ordnance Survey map shows a place that would fit. Approximately one
mile due east of Pencader village, you will find the hamlet of Gwyddgrug on
the modern A485 road.

Another half a mile or so due east there was a place named Bwlch-y-coed.
(It seems to have been situated close to the remains of a 'castle' and a
farm/house called 'Castell'.)
I can't tell you whether the place still exists.

Hi fellow Listers
This is a transcript of a monumental inscription found in a Pleasant
Hill Cemetery near Hiawatha, Kansas, USA:-
JOHN D EVANS
BORN AT
BWLCLYCOED. PEN-
CADER. CARMARTHENSHIRE
SOUTH WALES
JAN 21, 1804
DIED
AUG.2,1887.
Not being familiar with the Welsh language, I cannot be totally sure of
the accuracy of the transcript, but hope that someone who knows the
county can correct us, if necessary, help us to pinpoint the location of
"Pencader" and "Bwlcilycoed", which may be the name of a farmstead or
hamlet within Pencader, and also, if possible, explain the meaning of
the Welsh words.
