Suzanne do you have an approx age for Mary Davis/Evans Do not know of the place name you mention, but imagine being an Australian hearing a broad welsh accent and never even seen the welsh language let along spell it.....if she could not read or write it would be spelt as they heard it...... Perhaps Llangendeirne.....you say and it see what that sounds like!!

Hello Pauline, I was thinking the person who wrote the place name down , probably wrote it as it sounded to them hence the wrong pronunciation , I was thinking Llangain? Mary would have been born abt 1824 as she was 18 when she arrived in Tasmania in 1842 As I said I know her parents were Thomas and Elizabeth Davis, then again it could have been Davies . this is so frustrating.
