Basil,
Yes, indeed, it is. My 4th great grandparents were Ellis Davies and Alice Lloyd. Their
son, John, married Lowry Jones and had Margaret who came to the U.S. with her husband
William E. Phillips in 1837. The earliest land rental records I've found for Ellis
are in 1791, so the family was there for a good long time. When I was there in 1996 I
talked to an elderly Welsh man who was taking care of some sheep behind Bryn Banon near
the old stone barn. He spoke Welsh with only a smattering of English so I'm not sure
I understood correctly. I think he said someone in the Davies family was still living
there after WWI. Shortly after that they moved and that was the last of the family. When
we were there it was a lovely old house. I tried to look at it on Google earth recently
and it looks like it's been changed quite a bit.
What is you connection? I'd enjoy reading about it.
Jane

Is this Bryn Banon, Bala? If so, please could you explain your interest? I have indirect
links to the Davies family who farmed there in the 19th century.

Helo Jane
I believe it is correct to use both Meirioneth (Meirionnydd) and
Meirionethshire. ( Sir Feirionnydd) In Welsh the 2 versions also live side
by side. I believe that Bryn Banon is the accesptable form
Hope this helps

I'm in a quandary about entering the locations for Wales in my
genealogy
program and hope someone would be kind enough to help me.
Which is the proper way to write the county of Merioneth? Is it Merioneth
or Merionethshire?
Also, could anyone tell me which is proper: Brynbanon, Bryn banon or Bryn
Banon?
I will appreciate any suggestions you can give me.
Jane
