Hello List,
Thanks to Nicola Bennett-Jones for her suggestions.
We've since visited Powys Archives and had a close look at the original
entry in the parish burial register for Llandinam (MGY. "Aberyclose" seems
to have been a rather poor transcription of the residence of 10-month-old
James Griffiths, who was buried at Llandinam on 3 April 1835.
The entry in the original register looks to me like "Wernyclace". You can
see the original entry on my website at:
www.jlb2005.plus.com/wales/placename.gif
The relevant entry is circled in red.
I'd be glad of Powys Listers' opinions on the place-name - and its possible
location.
Kind regards,
John

Hi John
There are number of dwellings in Llandinam which come up in censuses called
Clase. Also a Cloesfynnon and Cloisybank. No Griffiths in the in the ones I
have checked though.

Dear Listers,
Can anyone suggest where a birth/death place quoted as 'ABERYCLOSE' might
be, probably in Llandinam parish, Montgomeryshire?
The name is mentioned in some family documents relating to a Griffiths
family living in Llandinam in the mid 1830s.
It may well be a property/farm rather than a place, but I can't find
anything in my gazetteers which even remotely resembles 'Aberyclose'.
Many thanks,
John
