Hi researchers,
Could someone please help me with the correct spelling of these street
names in Maentwrog, Merionethshire, North Wales:
Carleg, Cefnfues, Panyglanan, Pantyclegar and Bronturnor? Also, was it
common for the head of household to change jobs from miner to farmer to
miner or do I have the wrong Rees[e] MORRIS?
Many THANKS :) in advance,
Jan Jordan <jnrose(a)webtv.net>
