Hi Moni It looks to me like Rhyd y frynnu, though I can't find that on a modern map. It's also diffcult to make it out from the enumerator's walk since he seems to have wandered about a bit. However he is definitely at the south eastern end of Quarter bach, somewhere near Ystradown. There was a colliery at nearby Brynhenllys, opened in 1792 - see http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/adsdata/cbaresrep/pdf/079/07903007.pdf Hope this helps Anna At 18/01/2010 13:41 U+0000, A Spell In Time wrote: >Hi everyone > >I'm hoping that someone can help with deciphering a place name in the parish >of Llangadog in the 1841 census. > >My Edward Mainwaring was recorded as Edward Manry, working as a collier in >the parish of Llangadock, I can't make out his address properly.

Moni Following on Anna 's comments. As well as the link Anna gave, there are also references to Brynhenllys and Ystradowen on the Coal Mining pages of my Cwmgors a'r Waun site http://www.tytwp.plus.com/Waun/Coal.html (Then use your browser's Find facility) Thanks from me for that Archaeology Data Service site link too Anna, looks a site well worth exploring in depth Gareth Genuki Wales http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/ Help Page http://home.clara.net/tirbach/hicks.html Cwmgors/Waun http://www.tytwp.plus.com/Waun/Waun.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anna Brueton" <bruetons@anoeth.demon.co.uk> To: "A Spell In Time" <spellintime@googlemail.com>; <Dyfed@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 18, 2010 7:34 PM Subject: Re: [Dyfed] Help with a place name in Llangadog, CMN > Hi Moni > > It looks to me like Rhyd y frynnu, though I can't find that on a > modern map.
