HI Pat I have been in touch with Eve off line and she has sent me the census scan......can I send it to you as to me it does not look like Saundersfoot......the first letter looks like an 'L' as London is the place name two down from it and they look the same to me.....there is also an 'S' for scholar and does not look like that.......to me it could be Llandefeilog - but spelt different because it is in england.....but starts with an L and ends with log with a few other bits in the middle......the only place I can think of similar to it is Llandeveilog........what do you think as Eve is thinking of giving up....
