I kind of remember it as being spelled Fainor. I can't find my notes to
check at the moment though. Perhaps someone else will recall this and write
in.
Best Wishes,

Subject: [POWYS] Vaynor 1841 Breconshire Census
Hello Judith,
The 1841 census for Vaynor Parish has not survived on Breconshire census
or Glamorganshire 1841
I remember checking for some families this year and then a fellow member
from Powys FHS as well. We went to National Library of Wales at
Aberystwyth earlier in the year and no trace could be found on their
records. Missing, presumed lost!
I have the 1841 census for Breconshire and 1841 for Glamorgan and
believe me...... zilch on Vaynor!
Glamorgan FHS has transcribed Vaynor Parish Church (St Gwynno) from 1714
to 1925 for marriages. Baptisms and burials as well. Some of these
records are missing and the transcribers have referred to BT's in these
cases.
See Parish Chest site for Sales.
best regards
Barrie Jones, Gwent
