Thanks for such a rapid response Pauline. I think it's Carmarthen Town, but not 100% sure. The 1851 census in New Quay says she was born in Carmarthen & was aged 39 (ie DOB 1812). Her age at death, 3 Nov 1853, is given as 44 (ie DOB 1809) acc to the NBI. A record on the IGI also suggests Carmarthen Town. I know from the IGI that there are other CHARLES family births in Llanelly, Carmarthen, do you have any list for that area?
