Hi! Alwyn
My little trip is now over,yes I did find GELLIGEMLYN which
was a house,they directed me to HEN GELLIGEMLYN. The owners of which made us
very welcome and gave us aerial photo's of the property and a guided tour of
the house which has been altered since my grandfathers day.
The house was built in 1698.
We also had success in finding Margaret Gwen Roberts grave in LLANELLTYD
Church graveyard.
We found the houses built in 1950/60's called FRONWNION but not the house
of that name.
We have been given Tyn y graig SH683179 as a possibility for TYW Y GRAIG,but
didn't have time to look.

for someone in the council offices who they think will help.So will be
trying him today.
Anyway thanks for all your help.

The only one of these I can give definite directions to is Gelligemlyn,
which
is between the hamlet of Ganllwyd and the village of Llanelltyd.
If you go to
<A HREF="www.multimap.com">www.multimap.com</A>
and put postcode LL40 2HH into the quickfind box, it will give you a map
showing the address.
Despite having transcribed many census and BT documents for the Dolgellau
area the name Aberddwyafon, doesn't ring a bell at all.
There use to be a Ty'n y Graig on the road between Dolgellau and
Penmaenpool
at one time (LL40 1YE) but it isn't registered as a current
postal
address.
I don't know of Fron Wnion, Llanelltyd. There use to be a minor
gentleman's
residence called Fron Wnion on the Road from Dolgellau to Cader Idris
at
one
time, this is now the site of a small housing estate of the same name
(LL40
1SL).
