Hi Val & John, I'd suggest it's Aberdare and the registration town is
Pontypool not Pentypool.

We are struggling to decipher the birth place of Mary Williams on the !851 Census (see
sheet 383 ). She was born approximately 1810 and lived at 8, Ould Castle, Trevithin,
Monmouthshire.
The census transcription states that she was born at Abernar, Glamorganshire, but we do
not believe there is a parish of this name. An alternative transcription is given as
Aberdare, but the original census script does not seem to be this either.
We should be grateful if anyone who is more familiar with Welsh placenames would give us
their opinion.
Many thanks,
Val & John Lewis
