Has anyone out there any info on Troed-y-rhiw Farm Mamhilad where my
ancestor Thomas Jenkins lived and farmed in the 1800's. In his will
dated 1874, after making various bequests to family, he mentions his
property in the parish of Llantarnum called Tyn-y-pwll and also the
freehold public house called The Yew Tree situated in Trevethin
together with three freehold cottages near Trevethin Church. Any info
would be appreciated.
