Hello the list, So far, I've traced my THOMAS's back through various means to Cellan. The 1851 census shows Thomas & Anne on a farm called Lluest while the 1841 census shows them at a place called Llyastucha. My question is this: is it possible that these 2 names refer to the same place? I could find no reference to Llyastucha on GENUKI or the Dyfed FHS websites. I'm also having trouble deciphering the house names on the census image and the ones I can read, I can't find on my maps. I don't know if anyone can shed any light - in the overall scheme of things it's not important, but - I just like to know where people were. Thanks, Merv.

Merv My guess without checking any specifics on your farm location is that Lluest and Llyastucha could be the same place. Looks to me like 'Llyast' is a less conventional spelling of 'Lluest' (= 'tent' or some sort of temporary dwelling, I believe). Lluest ucha(f) (Llyastucha) would simply mean 'upper Lluest'. There are often variants on the same name in neighbouring farms. So you might find a 'Lluest isa(f)' (Lower Lluest) or 'Lluest bach' (little Lluest).
