My mistake! It was late when I was looking them.
The entry is in register is probably Cwmbwch to fit with those two - the "w"
is a bit of a scribble!
I will have another look on the NLW, I did not see many maps last night but
it was late.
The loss of the old-maps site is a nuisance, I tend to use this site as a
gateway to arrange of map sources

Not been down that way for some time so perhaps to have a trip in the
Summer.
The family did not seem wealthy so it could have been something small.

I take it the NLW does not have the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps online
(especially the 25")? I can't see them on their website. Here in Scotland
we are rather spoilt with all of these and many more online at the NLS.

Dear Martin,
I can find Cwm-bwch-fawr and Cwm-bwch-fach on modern OS maps, but not
Cwmbach. They are at 301469,246827 and 301871,247084 respectively.
Until recently we could view high resolution images of early OS maps
covering all of England and Wales free, at the
www.old-maps.co.uk website.
The maps are still there, but are now only available as reduced size images
and navigation of the maps is poor. To obtain a full-sized image now
requires payment.
The website currently has the following OS maps available for Maesmynis:
DATE SCALE
1889 - 1:2,500
1891 - 1:10,560
1904 - 1:2,500
1906 - 1:10,560
1952 - 1:10,560
1965 - 1:10,560
1975 - 1:2,500
1978 - 1:10,000
but note that the area covered by each map is quite small.
You can order any map as a PDF download (£11 - £16), as a print (£22.50 -
£27.50), or as a framed print (£45 - £50).
See
www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?gallery=1 for full pricing details.
Frustratingly, the answers in the FAQ section are based on the previous
version of the website, where much better access to the maps was available.
I've written several times via the 'Contact Us' facility but have never had
a response.
I'm looking at the 1:2,500-scale OS map published in 1889 right now, and I
can only see the two Cwm-bwch properties. I cannot see any identified as
Cwmbach.
Kind regards,
John
