Hi All, Re PlaceyBarlow Cilymaenllwyd. I have a record of local history(in my head!) and I know a lady who used to live at Barlow Cottage in the Cwmiles area of Login Cilymaenllwyd parish. This cottage is near to Cwmiles Independant Chapel and before you get to the stone bridge called Cwmiles Bridge(in Welsh Bont Cwmiles) I hope this is of some help Regards Yvonne ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Ball" <john@jlb2005.plus.com> To: "Dyfed List" <dyfed@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 23, 2009 10:12 AM Subject: Re: [Dyfed] CMN Cilymaenllwyd census translation please > Lea <leamarrob@gmail.com> wrote: > Could SKS please look up Carmarthenshire, Cilymaenllwyd, Llanboidy, > District > 6 page 2 on the 1841 census and see if you can tell me what the occupation > of Thomas James of Placeybarlow is?

This cottage is near to Cwmiles Independant Chapel and before you get to the stone bridge called Cwmiles Bridge(in Welsh Bont Cwmiles) I hope this is of some help ================= Dear Yvonne, Thank you for your input. Plas-y-beili, which I believed to be the name from which the anglicised 'Placeybarlow' originated, is located about 1200 metres north northwest of Cwm-miles Bridge. It is just under 1 kilometre northwest of Login. However, a Google search reveals another property, now known as 'Plas-y-Barlo' and functioning as a holiday cottage, located very close to Cwm-miles Independent Chapel (see http://tinyurl.com/l88x3b). This may well be the property where Lea's Thomas James was living in 1841. Interestingly, the 1891 Ordnance Survey map shows that at the time of the 19th century mapping survey, there was a ford crossing the river Taf at the point where Cwm-miles bridge is now situated.
