Alwyn,
Thank you for the information on Bob Roberts, Tai'r Felin. I should have
thought about checking the Welsh Biography on line.
I did that to verify that his associate, and very a much a personality
in his own right, Llwyd o'r Bryn (Robert Lloyd), father John Lloyd and
mother Winfred, can be found in 1891 in Part V: Nantfreyar and Doldrewyn
under Pen y Bryn. Hafina Clwyd has an interesting account of John Lloyd
in Pobol sy'n Cyfri ( Llangwm, pages 13-16), his role in the Tithe
protest during the 1880's, for which he was jailed, and then a
description of the family through to the present.
Cofion,
Ken

of Cae Gwernog, Capel Celyn)."
That seems to confirm that it is indeed Bob Tai'r Felin in the Census return

Thank you, once again, for the new material.
Is that the famous ballad singer Bob Roberts, at Tai'r Felin in the 1871
Census - 6 months old?
