From what I have seen it would seem that in 1801 "Amlwch" census covered
most of the area which was known as the Hundred of Twrcelyn. This included
areas which later became know as Llanerchymedd, Llanelian, Llandafrydog,
Burwen , Bull bay and Rhosybol.
In the 1841 the "Amlwch" district was sub divided into Pwll Coch ( Part of
the outskirts of Llanerchymedd) Rhosybol ( Middle section) and Twrcelyn for
most of the rest of the areas listed above.
In 1861 the district was again subdivided into Amlwch, Llanelain,
Llanbadrig, Llandafrydog and Llanerchymedd.
I must admit that this analysis comes from looking at the headings on the
census forms rather than from any study of boundaries in use at the time. i
would be glad to hear from any one with more informaton.

PS I would like to hear from anyone with a family history which links back
to the Amlwch area.
Perhaps we could generate an number of trees from people who used to live in
the area.
I would be willing to host the information on my site if we can agree a
commen format.

Neil,
Thank you for responding. You mention many small towns were lumped in
wtih Amlwch prior to the boundary change. Do you know where I could
obtain
more information, particularly, the names of those small towns?
Thank
you.
Linda

Up until that area many of the small towns and areas around Amlwch were
lumped in with Amlwch.
After 1851 Llanbadrig, Llanerchymedd, Llanelian and many more were listed
separately
